Drugs. Drugs. Lord Goronwy-Roberts could be advised to tell the Governor that he is concerned about Hong Kong's image, particularly in the UK, as a result of the drugs problem and enquire how we might be able to help. This would probably have to be subject to our first obtaining a Home Office/Scotland Yard view, as agreed at the Standing Committee meeting, on Hong Kong's performance in coping with the drugs problem.
.
vi Investment
Investment in South African Stock. Again subject to a submission that we are to put to Lord Goronwy-Roberts, it may well be that he should raise this matter with the Governor.
vii Possible New Appointments to LegCo/ExCo. Before
deciding whether this point might be included in the brief, I think we shald first check which members of the two Councils are due to retire this year.
Turner Study of Labour Relations. Lord Goronwy-Roberts may have to be advised to inform the Governor that Professor Turner's study will have to be sent to the TUC (and the CBI) in view of the clear undertaking to this effect given in the Secretary of State's letter to the
General Secretary of the TUC on 24 May 1976.
It may be that some of these points, eg nos. 5 and 8, should be left over for Mr Murray's/Mr Stewart's visit.
