HONG KONG: FAC EVIDENCE SESSION, 8 DECEMBER: PRESS LINE

1. The Minister has seen your submission of 8 December. He agrees the draft line for use by News Department in response to enquiries about Sir P Cradock's criticisms made before the FAC on 8 December. He also agrees that Mr Culshaw should use the line in unattributable briefing with Diplomatic Correspondents. I have forewarned News Department.

Mr Hum's comment on your submission, which includes a supplementary defensive point to make, is attached for the benefit of copy addressees.
