Action Taken
On 20 December the Foreign Secretary announced a pałkage of
measures to improve confidence in Hong Kong (copy attached). The
main element will take the form of full British Citizenship to a
maximum of 50000 heads of household without their having to leave
Hong Kong.

We are seeking the assistance of our friends in the international community to consider similar schemes. Impact of our package could be greatly enhanced if other countries could help in a similar way.
- The British Ambassador has already spoken to the Thai Government
on this but I would like to emphasise the importance that HMG
attach to the issue of confidence in Hong Kong and its crucial
role for the future prospects of the territory.
Support for Hong Kong is vital if it is to maintain its status as a truly international and regional centre. Hope Thailand can help
in this respect.
