SUBJECT:
HONG KONG: CALL ON THE PRIME MINISTER
Copies to:
Dame Lydia Dunn, Senior Member of Hong Kong's
Executive Council, will call on the Prime Minister at
4 pm on 3 October. The visit will not be publicly
announced.
Dame Lydia last called on the Prime Minister
on 23 June. On that occasion the meeting focussed
entirely on nationality matters. Dame Lydia is now more
realistic in her expectations and is likely to pursue her
case in a relatively low key and measured way.
Enclosures flag(s)
Dame Lydia will no doubt want to describe the mood in
Hong Kong: although on the surface at least life in the
territory is returning to normal, confidence in Hong Kong
has been badly bruised and the underlying concerns
remain.
Emigration of talented people remains a major
concern. Dame Lydia will therefore argue that it is very
important that our proposed nationality package should be
as large as we can manage and should be announced as soon
as possible.
