THANK YOU FOR TURS.

-

(3,975

WE HAVE RECEIVED LETTERS FROM SECRETARY-GENERAL, THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION OF JURISTS (ICJ) REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO MEET THE MISSION. THE AG HAS ACCEPTED THE REQUEST. WE ARE GETTING IN TOUCH WITH THE LOCAL CONTACT PERSON OF THE ICJ (A MR BARRETTO) TO SEE IF MEMBERS OF THE MISSION WOULD LIKE TO MEET OTHER OFFICIALS.

3.

SINCE THE TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE MISSION ALSO RELATE TO THE INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS OF THE U.K., WE BELIEVE IT WILL HELP IF SIR WILLIAM GOODHART (CHAIRMAN OF THE MISSION) IS BRIEFED BY HKD

OFFICIALS BEFORE HE VISITS HONG KONG. WE HAVE INFORMALLY HINTED THIS TO MR BARRETTO. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD SEE IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE AT YOUR END TO ARRANGE A MEETING WITH SIR WILLIAM.
