PERSONAL FOR PAUL, HKD FROM GOVERNOR
MIPT: LETTER FROM MR HOWELL: POSITION OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
1. THE LETTER FROM THE HARRIS FAMILY TO MR HOWELL REFERS TO CRITICISM OF THE AG BY LAWYERS IN HONG KONG. BESIDES THE USUAL GOSSIP AND GRUMBLING, THEY MAY HAVE IN MIND COMPLAINTS MADE BY THE BAR ASSOCIATION FOLLOWING THE HARRIS CASE. YOU WILL REMEMBER THAT THE HARRIS CASE, AND THE AG'S ROLE IN IT, IT WAS A MUCH DISCUSSED ISSUE AT THE TIME.
2. YOU WILL FIND DETAILS OF THE COMPLAINTS AND MY REACTION TO THEM IN MY LETTER TO ROBIN MCLAREN OF 7 APRIL 1990.
