HONG KONG: MFN STATUS FOR CHINA
Further to my letter of 21 June, we have now
consulted Washington and Hong Kong about the wording of
the proposed statement which the Prime Minister might
make in response to an inspired PQ on this subject.
Sir A Acland has recommended that the inspired PQ be tabled this week to enable the Prime Minister's reply to
be circulated to key Congressmen before the floor
debates, the first of which is expected to start on
10 July.
The text of the recommended draft written PQ and
answer is as follows:
Question
To ask the Prime Minister if he will make a
statement on HMG's position regarding the renewal by the
US Government of China's Most Favoured Nation status.
