COMMONWEALTH PARLIAMENTARY ASSOCIATION (CPA): UK BRANCH VISIT TO HONG KONG, 9 - 13 AUGUST 1993

1. I write to give you advance notice that six members of

έντ

the UK Branch of the CPA will be visiting Hong Kong from 9 - (1 evorking ire.

The

13 August. They have been offered a two day briefing arranged through the Hong Kong government office here. delegates will be chosen by the Speaker's Selection Committee on 15 June and I will let you know their names as soon as possible. They will be travelling on to New Zealand, where they will spend ten days as guests of the New Zealand CPA Branch.

2. Unclassified background briefing on Hong Kong will be provided for the delegates by HKD in written and oral form, the latter allowing any questions arising from the written material to be answered.

3. Neither the FCO or its posts have any formal responsibility for the delegation. However, it is usual for a senior member of our post (often High Commissioners personally), to meet the delegation and to offer to brief them informally. I therefore enclose guidelines which you may find useful in preparing for the visit.
