HONG KONG: LOCALISATION OF LEGISLATION
1. I attach a draft reply to John Chan's letter of 10 May to
(copy attached). The reply is agreed with Mr Fifoot.

After discussion with Ar Fifoot, I have ageed that the circular
to Whitehall Departments asking them not apply new legislation to
Hong Kong without consulting us should
go
from Sir John Freeland to
his opposite numbers rather than from the PUS. This should be more
effective. If you agree I will pass this to Mr Fifoot for despatch.
