Thank you for your letter of 23 February about the employment of women on work at night in Hong Kong.
Since we shall be meeting on 17 March to discuss the experiences of Mr. Pendergast and Mr. Gibson during their recent visit to the Far East, may I suggest that we should take that opportunity to discuss the points you have raised about night work by women in Hong Kong.
Mr. J. MacGougan, General Secretary of the National Union of Tailors and Garment Workers, and Mr. Milhench, Secretary of the United Textile Factory Workers' Association, have also written to me about this, and I am asking them to join us at our meeting on the 17th if that will be convenient to them.
I am writing in similar terms to Mr. Gibson, from whom I have also received a letter about night work by women in Hong Kong.
