I refer to your minute of 13th December about an application for the removal of the full rate of import duty on barium sulphate paste ex U.K. tariff sub-heading 28,38(^)(2)(b).
From the fi¿ures provided it would appear that Hong Kong's exports to the U.K. of sulph-tes are very small and of barium sulpate they were nil in 1968.

It would not therefore appear to be necessary to consult the Hong Kong Goy rnment in this instance. I am however copying your enɖuli
ify and this reply to the 'ritish rade Commissioner in Hong Kong and to the liong Kong Section in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for their inform tion,
