May I also refer to the third parcqnerk my letter of the 6th December 19730 Although undertaking by you not to comment "ublicly on affairs was then thought to be unnecessary, a now situation: arises if you are to become involved in Hong Kong ma' teng on behalf of Jardine Ploming. I would be grateful therefore, if you would now give the undertaking offered by you in the last paragraph of your letter of 24th November, not to make public comment on matters of Hong Kong public policy, without the approval of the Governor.
