You will remember that wrote to you last
May about Clive Jenkins' interest in the affairs of
the Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company (HAECO).
$ince then we have had an exchange of telegrams on
the matter, ending with your telegram No.664 of
30 September.
On 25 November, Jenkins wrote to Mr. Royle
suggesting a meeting to discuss the question of the
recognition of the ASTMS Union in Hong Kong. He
said that a deputation would like to call on the
Parliamentary Under Secretary and that it would con-
sist of the ASTMS President, Mr. Ian Mikardo, MP,
Mr. M. Young, of the EETU/PTU a union also involved
in/the problem Mr. Maurice Orbach, MP, Mr. Russell
Kerr, MP, and himself. The meeting duly took place
on 14 December, but without the three Members of
Parliament who were unable to attend.
Jenkins had nothing fresh to say apart from
admitting that Becker, the Secretary of the Hong Kong
Branch, had been foolish at the time of the hijackings
in trying to get the Branch to boycott UAR aircraft.
He told us that Becker had resigned from both his
union office and also his job and was now back in the
United Kingdom. He also left with Mr. Royle the
document, of which a copy is attached.
