(vii)
defensive points to make and background on emigration from
Hong Kong;
personality notes on Mr Lee and his colleagues;
texts of Mr Lee's LegCo speeches of 5 and 18 November on the Survey Office report;
Hong Kong telno 4401, reporting on the LegCo debate of 18 November (in which Mr Lee was in a minority);
Hong Kong telno 4576, summarising recent statements by
Mr Martin Lee;
a article from the Far Eastern Economic Review written by Emily Lau, a close associate of Mr Lee, reflecting his objections to the Survey Office report:
(viii) a letter in today's Guardian signed by Mr Lee and his
colleagues. It is significant that it concentrates on the (false) charge that HMG is backing down from the promise to introduce direct elections in 1988, but makes no reference whatsoever to the fact that Hong Kong people have been consulted and have displayed no clear enthusiasm for the
idea.
2.
I apologise for the number of background papers, but I think these are necessary to give some flavour of Mr Lee's recent activities. Key points are highlighted.
