CABINET AND CABINET COMMITTEE BUSINESS (MR HASTIE-SMITH'S LETTER OF 13 DECEMBER TO MR LEVER)

1. I think it is unlikely that we shall be ready to put the New Territories leases problem to OD during the period January to April 1980. Nor are there any other HKGD subjects likely to need Cabinet or Cabinet Committee consideration during that period.

19 December 1979
