SECRETARY OF STATE'S BREAKFAST MEETING WITH LORD YOUNG:

8 MARCH 1989

1.

The Secretary of State is meeting Lord Young on 8 March.

I submit a brief. It covers the issues referred to in

Mr Wall's minute of 28 February, namely:

(a) British trade and economic links with Hong Kong;

passports for Hong Kong investors;

(b)

(c)

land for our Consulate-General after 1997.

The brief also deals with the specific ideas in Lord Young's minute of 16 February to the Prime Minister about ways in which to boost Anglo-Hong Kong trade, including his proposal to appoint a London-based Trade Commissioner.
