Q DIST?
YOUR TELNO 1824: OBSERVER STATUS FOR HONG KONG IN THE TRADE COMMITTEE
1. Neither we (in the midst of preparing for the Governor's statement tomorrow) nor UKDEL OECD (who had not received your telegram by late afternoon their time - • we have now faxed them a copy) have been able to focus on this issue today. UKDEL will try to let you have their views by 030100Z.
2.
If this subject arises at Paul's meeting with the Chinese side tomorrow, he will need to say that he is aware of the NCNA demarches of 24 and 26 November (para 4 of TUR refers), that they are being considered, but that he has not yet received any instructions from his authorities on how to respond.
