Mr. Laird

Hong Kong: Housing of Squatters,

14/115

At my final talk with Sir David Trench before he

returned to Hong Kong he reminded me that the suggestion to

submit an interim report from the Housing Board was made by

himself without his advisers present at a meeting with

Mr. Royle, accompanied by Mr. Wilford and myself. He had

not realised that Mr. Royle attached any particular weight

to this suggestion and indeed could not be sure that he had

passed it on to the Secretariat.

This seems to

the rather peculiar tone of

telegrams 818 and 826 on this subject.
