SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE MEETING ON HONG KONG : 16 NOVEMBER

1.

The Secretary of State is holding a meeting at 1600 on

16 November. The Governor and Sir Robin McLaren will be

attending, together with key members of the Governor's team

from Hong Kong.

2.

The main objective will be to consider the way ahead

given Chinese determination to oppose the Governor's

constitutional proposals, and to prepare discussion at OPD (K)

on 18 November. I submit an annotated agenda, together with a

copy of the Secretary of State's paper for OPD (K). I will submit a brief for the OPD (K) meeting in the light of the

discussion on 16 November.

3.

The Governor is planning to put his constitutional

proposals to LegCo in February/March. The Secretary of State

might be interested to know the outcome of the first test of

opinion in LegCo; a motion with a series of amendments which

were considered on 11 November. The result showed an

encouraging level of support for the Governor's proposals ;

the amended motion which expressed general support for the

proposals was adopted 32-21 (total LegCo membership is 60). attach a fuller summary.
