utres Ministers of 6 March.
(ii) A. Recreational facilities in Britain
B. Education of Chinese children in
Britain in the Chinese language
We consider that these are matters
You which should be raised through the
Hong Kong Government. No indication can
be given of Her Majesty's Government's
attitude towards them since the proposals
are more the concern of other Ministries,
which would need to be consulted. Such
an approach to other Ministries would
not, however, be undertaken in the
absence of any formal approach from the
Hong Kong Government.

(iii) Dissemination in Britain of information
about Hong Kong
There has been a noticeable increase
in the amount of material put out by the
Hong Kong Government Information Services
for distribution, both in this country
and in other countries where there are
substantial overseas Chinese communities.
We have in mind such publications as the
Hong Kong News Digest, which is now
distributed free to the Chinese community
in this country. It is to be hoped that
this momentum will be maintained and, if
possible, increased in the future. The
British Information network has been
working in close collaboration with the
Hong Kong Government Information Services
with a view to presenting to the world
a balanced picture of development in
Hong Kong. But in view of the
traditional independence of the Press and
other mass communications media in this
