PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM PAUL, HKD

YOUR VISIT TO LONDON, 8-11 MARCH: AGENDA

1.

ON:

I EXPECT YOUR TALKS WITH FCO MINISTERS ON 11 MARCH TO FOCUS

(A) PADS: THE WAY FORWARD.

(B) CONSULTATION AND RELATIONS WITH CHINA OVER HONG KONG.

(C) SHOULD THE SECRETARY OF STATE GO TO CHINA AS WELL AS HONG KONG IN APRIL?

(D) LEGCO ELECTIONS: PROSPECTS OF ENCOURAGING MODERATE CANDIDATES TO STAND.

2.

(E) ROYAL NAVAL PRESENCE IN HONG KONG.

(F) VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE.

OTHER ISSUES WHICH MIGHT ALSO BE TOUCHED UPON INCLUDE THE NATIONALITY PACKAGE, HMOCS ISSUES, THE BILL OF RIGHTS AND

JARDINES. BUT GIVEN THE IMPORTANCE AND COMPLEXITY OF THE ISSUES LISTED IN PARA ONE ABOVE, I AM NOT AT ALL SURE THAT THERE WILL BE TIME TO DO SO. BETTER PERHAPS TO COVER THESE AT OFFICIAL LEVEL.

3.

GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIEWS, IF POSSIBLE DESKBY 010930Z, ON THE CONTENT AND HANDLING OF THE AGENDA.
