YOUR TELNOS 3605 AND 3606: LEGCO STANDING COMMITTEES
1.
WE AGREE THAT UKREP JLG SHOULD TAKE AN EARLY OPPORTUNITY TO BRIEF THE CHINESE JLG DELEGATION AS PROPOSED IN YOUR TELNO 3606. AS YOU RECOGNISE THIS IS UNLIKELY TO CUT MUCH ICE WITH THE CHINESE. WE MUST EXPECT THEM TO RAISE THE ISSUE AT JLG XXI, NO DOUBT TOGETHER WITH THEIR WIDER CONCERNS ABOUT LEGCO'S ROLE IN RELATION TO JLG BUSINESS. BUT WE WILL AT LEAST HAVE EXPLAINED THE REALITIES TO THEM, BEFORE LEGCO TAKE DECISIONS ON ESTABLISHING STANDING COMMITTEES.
