ANNUAL REPORT TO PARLIAMENT ON HONG KONG

Given parliamentary sensitivities, Mr Renton thinks it would be right to tell Lord Maclehose and Paddy Ashdown MP of our intentions, and to assure them that there is no worrying reason for delaying publication of the report until early 1987. He is content for you to speak to

Lord Maclehose, but would be grateful for a short draft letter to send to Mr Ashdown. Thereafter, he would be glad to answer an inspired PQ.

Thermanos.
