I am writing in connection with our exchange of
telegrams concerning Hong Kong Government proposals to
modify the rules governing night work for women.
We did our best to meet your deadline, but with a matter of "much delicacy" (in the sense that it could lead to Questing in Parliament or adjournment the Labour Adviser abroad when the proposals were
received and the need for reference to Ministers, it
wae just not possible.

we have
assumed that you will centime the arrangement whereby
industrial premises are inspected before a permit is
issued for the employment/of women at night.
whilst a division of duties exists between Labour

advisable to enquire/into the extent to which Factory
Inspectors should participate in subsequent night
inspections of the factories concerned. hi

informed should/any local criticism develop after the public announcement has been made. This is the sort of thing
which MPs pick up and we
might get supplementary questions
for which

unbriefed.
