Sir J Coles

1.

I attach the return from Hong Kong Department

reiterating our bid for a Hong Kong (Appeals) Bill. In turning down this bid for the 1991/2 session, I understand

that the Committee envisaged a slot in next year's

programme. The bill was then expected to be

uncontroversial.

The same cannot be said of it now.

2. The contact officer in this department is Rod Bunten on

270-2655.
