FOLLOWING PERSONAL FOR GALSWOPTHY, HONG KONG DEPARTMENT FROM GOVERNOR.

1. IT IS SOME TIME SINCE WAS IN LONDON FOR CONSULTATIONS.

A LOT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS AND THINGS ARE DEVELOPING

FAST HERE. WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF IMPORTANT ITEMS ON THE AGENDA INVOLVING FUTURE POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT, LOCALISATION, INCLUDING THE SENSITIVE QUESTION OF THE JUDICIARY (ON WHICH SHALL BE SENDING YOU SOME THOUGHTS IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS) AND FUTURE WORK FOP THE JLG. IT IS ALSO A GOOD THING FOR THE GOVERNOR HERE TO BE IN CLOSE AND REGULAR CONTACT WITH LONDON.

2. HAM THEREFORE PROPOSING TO VISIT LONDON DURING THE WEEK FEBRUARY 10 TO 17 ( HAVE TO BE BACK BY THE 17TH SINCE THE CHIEF SECRETARY WILL BE LEAVING FOR A VISIT TO THE UNITED STATES THEN).

3. THERE WILL, OF COURSE, BE TIME FOR A SHORT DISCUSSION WITH MR RENTON WHEN HE PASSES THROUGH HERE BUT I SUSPECT THAT THAT VISIT WILL BE FULLY TAKEN UP WITH CUPRENT AND IMMEDIATE ISSUES AND WOULD NOT BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR A MORE SUBSTANTIVE CONSULTATION. BEFORE ► CO FIRM ON DATES COULD YOU CONFIRM THAT THE MINISTERS AND SENHOR

OFFICIAL CONCERNED WILL BE IN LONDON AT SOME STAGE DURING THAT WEEK.
