HONG KONG: CALL ON LORD GLENARTHUR BY MISS LYDIA DUNN: 19 JANUARY
Miss Lydia Dunn called briefly on Lord Glenarthur on
You and I were also present.
1.
19 January.
2.
Miss Dunn described the action she had taken or would be taking
to brief the press and MPs before the Debate. She was most grateful
for the advice which the Secretary of State had given her about
this. Martin Lee was a skillful advocate for his cause: he relished
his role and had now discovered the impact that he could make on the
media and Parliament. People in London had yet to see through him
as those in Hong Kong had done. He would have to be handled very carefully.
3. In the coming year attention would focus on the Basic Law. In
this connection she expressed concern about the way Chinese thinking
was developing on the First SAR Government.
4.
Miss Dunn touched briefly on other current issues. On Vietnamese refugees she suggested that it might be helpful if
Lord Glenarthur were to write to LegCo from time to time bringing
them up to date on action that was being taken to resolve the
problem. This would help to reassure LegCo of Britain's continuing
concern. Lord Glenarthur agreed to consider something on these
lines.
