Dear Tea,
5th September, 1968.
ohi ANNEY
Labour Conditions in Hong Kong.
You will recall that you recently came to see me about a brief for the Board of Trade on general labour conditions in Hong Kong. In this connection I wrote to Hong Kong to ask for their latest wage survey figures and also for the latest copy of their Abstract of labour legislation.
(i)
(ii)
I now enclose for your information:
a photostat of a survey of wages, hours and conditions of work as at March, 1968, in the principal Hong Kong industries;
an Abstract of the principal labour legislation in force at the end of 1967.
You may find these two documents useful for
reference purposes.
I understand that the March, 1968, wage survey is in process of being printed. It will of course be included in the 1967/68 Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labour but if I get a printed copy before that Report appears, I will send you one.
E. Glover, Esq., Hong Kong Department, Commonwealth Office, Matthew Parker Street, LONDON, S.W.1.
Yours sincerely,
Pat bewee
