Dear Jonathan

/

Letter from Andrew Byrnes: CEDAW

pa

CEDAW

herewith

a

brief

With reference to your letter of 15 July, I attach

at prepared

the end of

for the May Rt. Hon. Alastair Goodlad's Meeting with Legislative Council Members in Hong Kong on 1 June 1993. I am under the impression that this subject was not eventually raised, and hence the line-to-take not depolyed, at that Meeting. But the brief gives you the background and what the current position is on the question of CEDAW.

to

The Green Paper mentioned in the brief is now due be published at the end of August 1993. No decisions will be made as

to the best way forward until the public consultation exercise following the publication of the Green Paper has been completed.

LAST PAPER

Yours sincerely

Jennie
