LORD CARRINGTON'S VISIT TO HONG KONG: 29 MARCH TO 1 APRIL:

ESSENTIAL FACTS

1. The Programme and draft Steering Brief for this visit are

at Annex A and B respectively. It is not known

what particular

points the Governor will wish to raise, but it is the reaction

in Hong Kong to the Nationality Bill which is likely to dominate

the Secretary of State's visit. He has suggested an agenda

for the talks with Hong Kong officials.

This is at Annex C.
