HONG KONG: REPLY TO FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE REPORT

J

A

1. The Foreign Affairs Committee have asked for a full reply to their Report in the form of a Command Paper as soon as possible

(Mr Paul's submission of 5 April). We asked the Committee Clerk to

clarify whether this means that the Committee want a comprehensive

response addressing all the recommendations in the Report, including

those already covered in our first reply, or one covering only the

outstanding points. The Committee Clerk has confirmed that the

reply need only deal with the outstanding points unless there have

been any new developments on the other issues.

2.

I submit an outline reply, which incorporates Mr McLaren's

comments. Subject to Mr Maude's views, we will work this up into a

full reply as quickly as possible.

B 3. A copy of the Committee's Report is attached, together with our

first reply.
