In accordance with the Committee's wishes, the briefing focussed on the relationship between the FCO and the Hong Kong Government; likely Chinese sensitivities, both in relation to the Enquiry and more generally; and the way in which policy on Hong
Kong is formulated in China.
Mr McLaren also took the opportunity to brief the Committee in some detail on Undertakings. This prompted a lively discussion.
