Your minute of 4 August copied to Mr Wood refers.

We will be sending a telegram to Peking today asking them to take prompt action requested in para 3 of your minute.

2.

3.

There is one slight change we would like to see made to the contingency briefing. It concerns the final sentence of para 4(a). We would suggest amending this to: "The specific details of the application of the MIGA Convention to Hong Kong after 1997 will be the subject of discussion between the UK and the PRC in due course". We are otherwise content with the sections relating to Hong Kong.

9 August 1988
