Code telegram to Sir M. Lempson (Peking).
Foreign Office, July 5th 1987. 6.00 p.m.
No.455. (3).

Your telegram No.1033 (Boxed Indemnity).
There can be no question of introducing Amending
Bill this session as it is not possible in present
conditions to decide in what respects present act
should be amended. But this need not affect the
creation of the proposed provisional committee which
can be constituted without any legislation here. We
approve your proposal to ask I Shih to sound Tsai,
Wang Ching-hui also Tsu Min-yi, unless we revert to former proposal of inviting Dr. Toei to nominate the
sixth member.
We agree regretfully that it is advisable to omit
Ting. If when Chinese members are completed we should
propose to obtain British members. From your telegram
No.633 we understand you have approached Young and
Miss Spicer. Have they accepted? Have you approached
any others? Balme probably available.
