I wich I could come and see you but that is not
possible just now.
As you know, the Prime Minister was most interested
in what he could see of Hong Kong during his visit early
this year and on his return arranged that our Party,
while still in opposition, should devote special study
to Hong Kong and its problems.
{
It now falls to me in
office to assume Her Majesty's Government's responsibilities
on behalf of and towards Hong Kong. I have therefore
thought that I would let you know my thinking on this
part of my responsibilities.
We are all full of cdmiration for the way Hong Long
under you and your predecessors has tackled the difficulties
since the war. It is an achievement of tremendous scalo, and
too little attention has been paid to it here and too
little credit given for it to Hong Kong and ito people.
You can rely on me and my colleagues in this office to
take any opportunity that offers to put the record straight.
