Future of Hong Kong: Letter to the Prime Minister
from the Chairman of Hong Kong's Urban Council
As requested in your letter of 6 January I attach a draft reply for you to send to Mr Hilton Cheong-Leen, Chairman of Hong Kong's Urban Council.
Since Mr Cheong-Leen's letter was also copied to the Governor of Hong Kong we have consulted Hong Kong over the reply. They share our view that the reply should not deal with the specific points made in paragraphs 9-12 of the speech to which Mr Cheong-Leen draws particular attention, but should concentrate on general assurances that in the talks with China Her Majesty's Government is taking account of the views and interests of the Hong Kong people and seeking the best possible deal for them.
You ever
Wet
