PERSONAL FOR RICKETTS, HKD, FROM AMBASSADOR HONG KONG PERSONAL FOR POLITICAL ADVISER
ELECTION COMMITTEE
I HAVE SENT A SEPARATE TELEGRAM IN RESPONSE TO FCO TELNO 1532 TO EXPLAIN WHY I THINK THAT THE TIMING PROPOSED FOR THE PUBLICATION OF THE EXCHANGE OF MESSAGES IS TOO TIGHT.
1.
2. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN HELPFUL TO HAVE BEEN INFORMED EARLIER THAT THIS EXERCISE WAS IN TRAIN. THE EXCHANGES WERE AFTER ALL BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND CHINESE GOVERNMENTS AND WE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE USEFULLY TO THE COMMENTARY HAD WE BEEN GIVEN THE CHANCE TO COMMENT.
