Visit to Hong Kong
Governor reports unofficial members of Urban
Council have asked for three hour meeting. He thinks
this too long, and too difficult to fit in. He suggests
Minister meets Urban Council for lunch on Thursday 5
June after informal pre-lunch discussion with unofficial
members. Our hunch is that purpose of request is to air
views on current proposals for reorganisation of local
government. While our information is that these have
been put to Governor in writing, we see advantage in
16 giving unofficials opportunity to speak their views,
particularly since, in the final outcome, initial reor-
ganisation measures must fall far short of their
ambitions and high expectations. We therefore recommend
acceptance of Governor's suggestion.
