TOP COPY Q DIST?
YOUR TELNO 1549: FUTURE OF LEGCO
1.
WE HAD NOT REALISED ALISTAIR LANG'S REPORT HAD BEEN SEEN IN HONG KONG ONLY BY LYDIA DUNN AND ALLEN LEE. WHEN LANG HANDED IT OVER TO US, HE INDICATED THAT LYDIA DUNN WAS UNENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT SOME OF ITS PROPOSALS, BUT WE RECEIVED THE IMPRESSION THAT IT HAD BEEN DISCUSSED MORE WIDELY, AT LEAST WITHIN OMELCO, AND THAT SOME OF HER RESERVATIONS WERE SHARED BY OTHERS.
2.
WE WERE CONSIDERING BRIEFING LORD CAITHNESS ON THESE ISSUES
SO THAT HE WOULD BE AWARE OF THEM IF THEY SHOULD CROP UP IN HIS MEETINGS WITH OMELCO MEMBERS. BUT CLEARLY IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE, AS YOU SUGGEST, TO FOCUS ON THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSALS, AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING THE LATEST PAPERS PROMISED IN TUR.
