As far as the nationality question is concerned, we are
acutely conscious of the wish of Hong Kong people to
secure some form of ultimate assurance for themselves and
their families. The Government are therefore considering
sympathetically and urgently what steps can be taken to
meet the concerns of the people of Hong Kong.
You suggested that we might meet during your forthcoming
visit to London. Unfortunately this is a very busy time
for me but I know that Robin McLaren, the Under-Secretary
of State responsible for Asia would be delighted to see
you and would be available at 3.30 on 6 July if that time
is convenient for you. His secretary can be contacted on
01-270 2213.
