2. H.K. S.B reporting is referred to in paras. 5 and 6. The draft reflects Mr. Foggon's minute of 31 March to Sir Leslie Monson (HKK13/11).

I have
3. Para. 4 deals as far as I think we ought
now, with the Leong Fook Kee incident. minuted separately on this file. (G) Essentially
we should use the incident as evidence of attitudes
rather than call for explanations.
4.
Reference is made in para. 7 to the Employment (Amendment) Bill. This reflects criticism by Mr. Foggon of H.K.G. but again uses the incident
to characterise attitudes which may be politically
counter-productive.
5. The text of this Draft has been cleared
with Mr. Foggon.
