I WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR TELEGRAPHIC GUIDANCE ON THE LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN BRUSSELS. VISITING BRITISH BUSINESSMEN ARE PRESSING ME FOR ADVICE ON THE ACTUAL UK POSITION GIVEN THAT THE

LOCAL PRESS CONTINUES TO CARRY ACCUSATIONS OF BRITAIN URGING THE EEC TO IMPOSE RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE TO HONG KONG.

2. 1 SHALL, OF COURSE, CONTINUE TO AVOID DIRECT INVOLVEMENT BUT MY LAST GUIDANCE IS YOUR LETTER OF 10 OCTOBER WRITTEN WELL

BEFORE THE CURRENT ROUND OF NEGOTIATIONS.
