YOUR TELNO 84: THE SUPPLEMENTARY EXTRADITION TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND THE UNITED STATES.
GIVEN THE SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES HERE, WE CANNOT AGREE AT SUCH
SHORT NOTICE TO EXTENSION OF THE SUPPLEMENTARY TREATY TO HONG KONG. WE MUST SEE THE TEXT OF THE REVISED TREATY AND THE ORDERS IN COUNCIL BEFORE WE CAN DECIDE WHETHER THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS ARE SO SIGNIFICANT THAT WE NEED TO CONSULT THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES. EXTENSION OF THE SUPPRESSION OF TERRORISM ACT, IMPLYING EXTRA-TERRITORIAL APPLICATION, WOULD APPEAR TO BE A MAJOR STEP ON WHICH WE SHALL NEED TO CONSULT.
2. IF THE DECISION IS TO CONSULT THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES, THEY WILL INITIALLY BE GIVEN 40 DAYS IN WHICH TO CONSIDER THE PROPOSALS AND MAY SEEK AN EXTENSION. BEFORE CONSULTING THE CHINESE WE WOULD NEED TO SEEK EXCO'S ADVICE.
