1. I enclose a copy of a letter Mr Goodlad has received from the Association for Women for Action and Research. I should be grateful for a line to take in reply, if possible by close of play 28 December.
2.
I have seen presss reports of the Legco motion on this subject and the Government's proposed amendment. I should be grateful for any background as to why the amendment was deemed necessary. As you know Ministers here are often required to defend HKG decisions on subjects of this nature and a line to take is always helpful.
