YOUR TELNO 2854:
BASIC LAW: OFFENCES AGAINST THE STATE
1.
WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ON THE PARAGRAPHS IN TUR: (A) (I) WE AGREE.
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
(F)
(G)
(H) AND
(I)
HOWE
YES INITIALLY, BUT WE WILL NEED TO SEE HOW THE
DISCUSSION DEVELOPS.
WE AWAIT YOUR FURTHER THOUGHTS. FIFOOT'S COLLEAGUES
WILL NEED TO HAVE THE CHINESE FORMULA AVAILABLE IN
PEKING.
WE AGREE, BUT ON FURTHER REFLECTION WOULD ALSO DELETE QUOTE AGAINST THE STATE UNQUOTE. SEDITION HAS PUBLIC
ORDER ASPECTS AS WELL AS ANTI-STATE ONES.
AGREED.
AGREED: WE HAVE ADDED AN APPROPRIATE PASSAGE TO THE
CHECKLIST WHICH FIFOOT WILL BRING WITH HIM.
AGREED INITIALLY BUT IT MAY WELL NOT BE ENOUGH
TO REFER ONLY TO THE CPG.
WE DO NOT THINK WE CAN CONFINE A NUMBER OF THESE
ELEMENTS TO THE SAR. SEE PARAGRAPH 4 OF FIFOOT'S
MINUTE OF 23 JUNE. THE PROXIMITY OF HONG KONG TO
THE REST OF CHINA CREATES A VERY DIFFERENT SITUATION
FROM THAT APPLICABLE TODAY BETWEEN HONG KONG AND THE
UNITED KINGDOM.
