MR LUCE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG

1. I attach briefing for Mr Luce's visit to Hong Kong from 24-28 September. The briefs have been cleared with FCO Departments and other Whitehall Departments as appropriate.

2. Brief no 2 on the future of Hong Kong and personality notes (some of which are still awaited from Hong Kong) will follow. Some of the briefs may need updating in the light of developments before Mr Luce's departure. Amendments and updates will be issued as necessary. In particular, supplementary briefing on the future will be provided by telegram after the next round of talks in Peking on 22/3 September to reach Mr Luce in Hong Kong as soon as possible.
