REGISTRY MET 30JANUZE

HKK 21/2

1. Mr Cranley Onslow told Mr Royle that the DTI were

prepared to concede a Hong Kong register, subject only to

discussions with the Officers' Association (MNAOA).

2. It seems from the attached DTI submission that officials

have not yet got quite so far. However, they are proposing

high level negotiations with Hong Kong within the next two

weeks and their draft telegram includes the words "with a

view to reaching agreement" I have encouraged them to send

it, although I have suggested that it would not be necessary,

or perhaps appropriate, to summon Sir Hugh Norman Walker in

person. Mr Lloyd might be more suitable for this purpose.
