TO PRIORITY HONG KONG

TELNO

OF 301110Z NOVEMBER 90

AND TO PRIORITY PEKING, UKREP JLG HONG KONG

PADS: LAND COMMISSION

PRIORITY

1. You will have seen BTC Hong Kong's telno 001 to Lisbon which set out, inter alia, the problems the Macau Government is having with their land commission over the amount of land that may be released in any one year.

2.

:

We would be grateful for your assessment as to whether similar problems could arise for you over the airport. Presumably the land commission could not stop HKG from forming land but it could stop you from granting large blocks of Land - to for example the Airport Authority in excess of the 50

hectare annual limit.

3. Has this point arisen in talks with the Chinese to date?
