LOCALISATION OF LAWS
WE NOW NEED TO CONSIDER HOW WE TAKE THIS SUBJECT FORWARD. TO SOME EXTENT WE ARE PLAYING FOR TIME IN SUGGESTING THAT A FURTHER EXPLANATION SHOULD BE GIVEN BY BURROWS IN THE MARGINS OF HIS EXPERT SUB-GROUP IN SEPTEMBER.

IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN HOW CLOSELY THE CHINESE SIDE WILL EXPECT TO BE CONSULTED ABOUT INDIVIDUAL ITEMS OF LEGISLATION. WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT OUR PROCEDURES FOR INFORMING THE CHINESE SIDE OF OUR GENERAL INTENTIONS ARE SUFFICIENTLY ́ FLEXIBLE AND
STRAIGHTFORWARD TO AVOID ADVERSELY AFFECTING YOUR LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PRELIMINARY VIEWS.
