OUT TELNO 368: ANNUAL REPORT ON HONG KONG, 1991

1. IN ORDER TO ACCOMMODATE THE FINAL AMENDMENTS IN YOUR TELNO 954 WE HAVE DECIDED TO PUT BACK THE PUBLICATION OF THIS REPORT TO MONDAY 9 MARCH. THE PRINTERS HERE ARE UNDER PRESSURE WITH A RUSH OF WORK TO BE COMPLETED BEFORE THE END OF THE PARLIAMENTARY SESSION.

2.

THIS SLIGHT CHANGE IN TIMING WILL IN FACT FIT IN BETTER WITH YOUR PLANNED TIMETABLE AS SET OUT IN PARA 4 OF YOUR TELNO 594. THE ONLY POINT TO WATCH WOULD BE THAT THE CONTENT OF ADVANCE COPIES MUST NOT BE MADE PUBLIC BEFORE THE REPORT IS PUBLISHED IN LONDON (AT 15.30 ON 9 MARCH).

3.

PLEASE PASS A COPY OF THIS TELEGRAM TO PS/LORD CAITHNESS SO THAT THE MINISTER IS AWARE OF THE CHANGE IN PUBLICATION DATE.
