LEADING PERSONALITIES REPORT (LPR): HONG KONG
1.
You asked whether DSP requires the Hong Kong Government to produce a LPR.

I attach a copy of Chapter 5 of Political Volume 5 Part 1, which clearly sets out the answer. Para 5.1.1 states that:
2.
"Leading Personalities Reports (LPRS) are required from all bilateral Missions (including non-resident Missions) and from Governors/Administrators of the Dependent Territories, except
Hong Kong.
The CVS of leading personalities which we receive from
HKG therefore meet DSP requirements. In line with para 5.1.1,
3.
WIAD receive LPRS from all their DT posts.

If Ministers are to have more contact with leading HKC personalities, notably Leg to and ExCo members, over coming
and if those
months
I think
contacts are likely to be touch on politically sensitive matters that they might value having
standard LPRS on them. It wd be in HICG's interest to be able to ensue
personally to him. that Ministers have reasonable backgrond
on their interlocutors. Producing such LPRS wd be a chore, but I think that we shd ook the Govenor whether it wd be manageable (initially just OMELCO members, perhaps).
