An analysis of the proposals put forward by both sides against our criteria of fairness and openness;

A concluding set of proposals to LegCo.

3. I now submit a draft covering all these sections except the

last. The Minister of State might like to see this as work in

progress, in the context of his visit to Hong Kong. I will be passing through Hong Kong on 13 October on the way back from the

next Round of talks and plan to discuss this latest draft with

the Governor and his team then.

4. It promises to be a long and complex White Paper. But it is likely to be last published by HMG on Hong Kong's constitutional development and as such will need to give a comprehensive

defence of our record. The device of an introduction by the

Secretary of State will enable us to get the key arguments up

front.
