You asked whether we had had anything from Hong Kong on the following:

1.

a)

the contingency paper on the future of Hong Kong;

b)

the Chinese Visa Office in Hong Kong;

Х

c)

2.

the problem of visas for Chinese transitting Hong Kong.

We have heard nothing so far from Hong Kong on any of these subjects

and Mr Clift intends to discuss them with the Political Adviser when he

is in Hong Kong the week after next. However, as regards (a), we have

received from Dr Wilson the annex on Macao and we ourselves have

drafted the annex on Taiwan. Mr Clift is taking to Hong Kong a checklist

of topics for the contingency paper which he intends to discuss with

Mr Donald before he goes.
