NEXT GOVERNOR OF HONG KONG: LETTER FROM ELECTED MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL

10/12

1. Hong Kong telegram no 4094 contains the text of a letter dated 9 December, addressed by 13 elected members of the Legislative Council to Mr Renton. (It is not clear whether the letter itself was given to the Minister while he was in Hong Kong for Sir E Youde's funeral.) The letter describes various qualities which the members say the next Governor must have.

2.

In response to our question Hong Kong have now sent a list of the signatories (Hong Kong Telno 4103). They are all from the "progressive" (pro-direct election) wing of LegCo.

3.

I recommend that the Minister send a non-committal reply. I submit a draft: the text will no doubt be released by the recipients to the press. I suggest that the text could best be sent telegraphically, with the original following by bag.
