LEGCO PANEL'S VISIT TO PEKING 1986
1.
FURTHER TO YOUR REPORTS IN TUR AND YOUR LETTER (TAM/HKD)
OF 8 APRIL, WE HAVE SEEN RECENT MEDIA REPORTS (ENGLISH PRESS
ROUNDUP 11 MAY) OF A GNPJVC ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE ESTABLISHMENT
IN CHINA OF A NEW QUOTE ADVISORY BODY TO MONITOR SAFETY UNQUOTE
AT DAYA BAY. THE REPORT SUGGESTS THAT HONG KONG REPRESENTATION
WILL NOT/NOT BE INCLUDED BUT QUOTE LOCALS CAN FORM THEIR OWN
CONSULTANCY ORGANISATION UNQUOTE. THE REPORT CONCLUDES THAT AT
LEAST ONE LEGCO MEMBER WOULD PRESS THE CHINESE TO GIVE HONG KONG
A DIRECT ROLE IN MONITORING DAYA BAY.
2.
IF THESE REPORTS ARE TRUE THEY SEEM TO REFLECT A SLIGHTLY
UNWELCOME DEVELOPMENT OF OUR EARLIER IDEAS ABOUT AN ADVISORY
GROUP INCLUDING DIRECT HONG KONG PARTICIPATION. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR
AND PEKING'S VIEWS ON WHETHER A FURTHER APPROACH IN PEKING MIGHT
NOW BE APPROPRIATE.
