TUJA!
We have also decided to start using schemes like the COI sponsored visits programme to bring over to London up-and-coming politicians from the main parties in
Hong Kong. The aim will be to arrange programmes centred on the workings of Parliament and the techniques of
electioneering. I doubt if the numbers involved will be large, but we should be able to achieve good results by selective targeting.
I believe that targeted action of this kind is
likely to be the most effective way in which we can help
Hong Kong's political development. It is better than sending out advisers with a political atmosphere very
different from our own. Nevertheless, I have asked our
Hong Kong Department to let the Hong Kong Government know when Members of Parliament intend to visit, so that
they can be encouraged to talk to nascent political parties while there.
