Mr. Seel

Following the discussion with the Secretary of State this morning I have now amended the passage in Draft B relating to the proposal for the direct nomination of 4 of the 8 unofficial members by the Municipal Council (two) and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce

and the unofficial Justice of the Peace (one each. I am sorry that this was incorrect in the

original draft.

On Sir Thomas Lloyd's instructions, after the meeting, I have also added a further

paragraph to comply with the Governor's suggestion in paragraph 14 of his telegram that the genuine desire and intention of H. M. G. to give the people of Hong Kong a practical and effective share in the actual management of their own affairs should be emphasised in the announcement.
