Dear Dick,
You will probably recall our correspondence last month about briefing the U.K. Parliamentary delegation which has just visited the Armed Services here; this rests with my letter of the 13th. August.
The visit passed off quite successfully, without the sort of awkwardness about which Sir Hugh Norman-Waller wrote to Michael Laird a year ago. It may nevertheless be of interest that after the delegation had lunched with UMELCO, some UMELCO members thought that it could with advantage have been told more before coming here about the problems currently facing Hong Kong. When they raised this with us, we were able to explain the briefing arrangements which had been made and to say that we had asked you to try and arrange that the Hong Kong Commissioner should attend future briefings. This all reinforces the hope we earlier expressed that such an arrangement can in future be made.
Yours ever. Peter
(G.P. LLOYD)
Secretary for Security.
