STATUS OF HONG KONG

Mr Luard has seen your submission of 8 December and subsequent

minuting. He has commented as follows:-

"I am grateful for the work that went into this submission. Mr Hooley has not reverted to the point and there is certainly no need to write to him again at this stage. I will try to

elicit what was in his mind at some point as I think the department will know, he personally is not enthusiastic about British sovereignty over Hong Kong, believing we should leave

tomorrow.·
