LORD CAITHNESS' VISIT TO HONG KONG: MEETING WITH LOCAL POLITICAL GROUP LEADERS
1 WE HAVE SEEN A HONG KONG PRESS REPORT STATING THAT WHEN LORD CAITHNESS MEETS LOCAL POLITICAL GROUP LEADERS DURING HIS FORTHCOMING VISIT THEY WILL ASK HIM HOW BRITAIN COULD HELP MAKE HONG KONG'S FIRST DIRECT ELECTIONS TO LEGCO A SUCCESS.
2. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO HAVE YOUR VIEWS ON WHAT LIES BEHIND THIS QUESTION AND HOW LORD CAITHNESS MIGHT DEAL WITH IT. A REPLY DESKBY 14120OZ WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED.
