MR P C WOO

1. I understand from Mr Guest that whilst Mr Royle was in

South East Asia he met Mr Q W Lee, who told him that

Mr P C Woo thought he ought to have had a letter from Mr Royle

I attach a copy of the

(154) after his call on him on 14 September.

record of that meeting.

2. There was no particular reason why Mr Royle should have

written to Mr Woo. With the exception of the separation of

the Anti-Corruption Office from the Police Force, which he

will know about anyway, no progress worth telling Mr Woo about

has been made on any of the topics which he raised. I

understand, however, that Mr Royle would nevertheless like to

write to him now in the cause of good relations, in view of

Mr Woo's reported attitude and his position as the Senior

Unofficial Member of Legislative Council. I accordingly

attach a draft.

3. I also attach a draft letter to the Governor, to keep him

informed.
