Invitations are expected to be sent out fairly
soon if they have not already issued. It will be noted
that Hong Kong is to be invited and we assume that the
}
local organisation to receive the invitation will be the
Hong Kong T.U.C. We understand that there is no
present intention of allowing the list to be varied

given to helping with the fares in exceptional cases
where the T.U.C. is satisfied that there is a real
financial need.
