CONFIDENTIAL
Adjournment Debate The Unofficials
regretted that Mrs. Hart's reply had
received less publicity than Mr. Johnston's
speech. They said that Mr. Johnston's
recent visit had been at the request of
Mrs. Elliott and financed by the local
branch of the United Nations Association,
which was a disreputable organisation,
from which the Governor had had to withdraw
his patronage.
(vi) China The Unofficials thought that
recent disputes over the leadership were
helpful to local confidence in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong should not
be taken for granted.
(iv)
Confidence in the U.K.
H.M.G.'s policies
sometimes seemed inconsistent or inexplicable,
e.g. 14 million aid to Zambia. H.M.G.'s
general foreign policy should be related
to the export drive and should be
consistent.
(v) Ministerial Visits
Recent visits were
welcomed and it was hoped they would recur.
(vi) Aid
It was hoped that H.M.G. would consider
helping to finance the airport extension.
