FCO TELNO 786 TO YOU AND 1462 TO ME: CONSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
1.
2.
I HAVE NO COMMENTS ON FIRST TUR, WITH WHICH I AM CONTENT.
MUCH AS I WOULD LIKE TO, I AM AFRAID THAT WE CANNOT USE THE WORDING PROPOSED IN SECOND TUR. WE WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY BE GIVING SOME (MILDLY) CONFIDENTIAL PAPERS TO THE GOVERNMENT-LEGCO COMMITTEE AND SOUNDING THEM OUT ON A CONFIDENTIAL BASIS ON SUCH MATTERS AS SPENDING PRIORITIES. I DOUBT IF IT IS WORTH MAKING THE POINT ABOUT COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY WITHOUT THE POINT ABOUT CONFIDENTIALITY.
3*
I WOULD BE GRATEFUL THEREFORE IF YOU WOULD HAND OVER THE MESSAGE IN MY TELNO 2446 AS AMENDED BY YOUR TELNO 126. PLEASE HOWEVER AMEND THE NAME ''GOVERNMENT-LEGCO BUSINESS COMMITTEE'' TO ''GOVERNMENT-LEGCO COMMITTEE'' WHICH IS THE FINAL NAME USED IN THE PRINTED VERSION OF MY ADDRESS.
