Hong Kong are anxious that no indication of numbers should be given
publicly. They would also wish Ministers to avoid, if possible, going
beyond paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Briefing Note, although they are content
that the rest of the material should be used if Ministers are pressed on
the point.
The Official Report reference is Vol 72,
Paragraphs 18 and 19 have been dropped.
