Registration of Shiffing in Hong Kong,
Thank you for your letter MS 83/13/06 of 9
August to Michael Wilford, who is on leave.
2. The letter reached us just in time for us to be
able to get a copy of it and its enclosures out to Mark Goodfellow in liong Kong in the bag which leaves
on 12 August. We have asked him to try and find time
to di cuss the matter with the Hong Kong authorities;
this would propably be the Deputy Economic Secretary
Cand the Director of Marine.
3. I am in some doubt about how to answer your question
whether it would be helpful for you to send out one
or two officials from your division to Hong Kong to
possibly
look into the situation. It may be that Goodfellow,
L
in his own discussions, will be able to avoid the
necessity for this. We have asked him to send us a
telegram on the point as soon as he has had his op
discussions.
