CABINET AND CABINET COMMITTEE BUSINESS:

1.

OCTOBER-DECEMBER 1993

I agree with the Private Secretary (his minute to you of 21 July) that Hong Kong is a likely runner. I suggest your draft response to the Cabinet Office (following their format) might say:

1

Hong Kong: strategy for concluding negotiations with China on electoral arrangements.

Oct/Nov.

OPD (K).

Almost certain; progress in the negotiations and the Governor's availability to return to London.

Likely to require a meeting during the autumn.
