The draft paper on Hong Kong which you

circulated on 22 July has been seen by Departments

in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and suggested

revisions to paragraphs 1

are attached.

These bring statistics up to date. A suggested

revised paragraph 9 is also attached.

2. The broadening of the scope of the Cotton

Textile long-term arrangement to include man-

made fibre textiles would be of great assistance

to Hong Kong and I trust you will be able to

mention this possible change in your paper.

3. I am copying this letter to Robinson in the

Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Peat in the

Ministry of Overseas Development and Gregory

in the Ministry of Technology.
