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.
