(B) SIXTH TIRET:
(C)
(D)
WE SUGGEST THAT WE SHOULD GET AWAY FROM TALK OF THE ARMAGEDDON SCENARIO. A MORE UP TO DATE REPLY BASED ON YOUR RECENT DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER COUNTRIES IS NEEDED.
SEVENTH TIRET:
SINCE THE NATIONALITY PACKAGE UNDER CONSIDERATION WILL BE A LIMITED ONE AND FALLS SHORT OF WHAT HAS BEEN ASKED FOR FROM HERE THERE SHOULD BE NO/NO REFERENCE TO HKG BEING INVOLVED IN DEVISING, AS OPPOSED TO HELPING ADMINISTER, A SCHEME. PRESUMABLY, THERE WOULD BE NO REFERENCE TO CABINET IN THE REPLY.
NINTH TIRET:
WE WOULD HOPE THAT A MORE POSITIVE RESPONSE WILL BE POSSIBLE ON THIS SMALL BUT VERY EMOTIVE AND LONGSTANDING PROBLEM.
(G)
TENTH TIRET:
SHOULD A COLLECTIVE HMG RESPONSE BE GIVEN HERE?
