FUTURE OF HONG KONG

1. I understand that Mr Coles has asked for a round-up of the position on M Thorn's discussion with Deng Xiaoping and the

Ambassador's subsequent meeting with Yao Guang. I think

that we should send this to No 10 right away, rather than wait for Sir P Cradock's report on his dinner with Yao today.

I submit a draft letter.
