INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR SAFE CONTAINERS,

OUR TELNO 1656:

1972

1.

WE ARE STILL CONSULTING OTHER DEPARTMENTS HERE AND WILL REVERT. IN THE MEANTIME, WE WONDER WHETHER YOU HAVE CONSIDERED THE 1997 IMPLICATIONS OF EXTENDING THE CONVENTION TO HONG KONG.

WE IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULD WISH THE CONVENTION TO REMAIN IN FORCE BEYOND 1997, IN WHICH CASE WE WILL OF COURSE HAVE TO CONSULT THE CHINESE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE AGREED GUIDELINES.
