14

1. Thank you for your letter AF/584/73/5 4c(Air) of 20 February about the proposed visit by up to seven MP's and Peers to Hong Kong.

2. This is just to confirm that, subject to the views of the Folitical Adviser, whom I note you will be consulting, we have no objection to the visitors calling on members of the Executive and Legislative Councils.

I assume that we shall be consulted about arrangements for oriefing the party?

3.
