at Hong Kong's representations should concentrate on
making it as safe as possible.
On 10 September, the Governor and members of the Executive
Council (EXCO) received assurances from the Prime Minister
in London that HMG recognised its responsibility for Hong
Kong's safety and from the exchanges it had had with the

It is hoped that these assurances, and the LegCo visit
to Peking, will establish an atmosphere in which contracts
can be signed without too hostile a public reaction in
Hong Kong. However the issue will remain sensitive,
particularly with the media, and we recommend that Mr Morrison
requests an update from the British Trade Commissioner,
Mr Holloway, when he arrives in Hong Kong.
