REF.

15th January, 1974

Thank you for your letter of 2nd January regarding visits by Members of Parliament to Hong Kong.

Your paragraph 1 confirms our own view

I do not think that these visits are very useful. anything should be done even if it could be to discourage them.

P.S. M. Blaker

The numbers that have been coming through so far are acceptable, and I am sure we can continue to cope. The notice you give us of impending visits, and of what the visitors want, is of course a very great help.

Copies of this exchange of letters are being sent to the Hong Kong Commissioner.
