Dear Lord Shawcros

GOVERNORSHIP OF HONG KONG

32/35

38

--

Thank you for your letter of 18 September to the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary about the Governorship of Hong Kong.

Lord Carrington shares your view that Sir Murray MacLehose remains the right man for this increasingly important and demanding post. By the time you receive this letter you will no doubt have heard that his term has been extended for a further two years, until April 1982: the announcement was made on 25 September.
