I am taking the liberty of writing to you about Professor H A Turner of Churchill College who is engaged in a study of labour relations in Hong Kong on behalf of the British and Hong Kong Governments.
Professor Turner began work in the summer of 1976 and produced an interim report in January 1977. He had originally hoped to complete his assignment by the end of last year but he has not found it possible to maintain this timetable. He has now told the Governor of Hong Kong that he will need to pay a further visit there in order to finish his study. He proposes to go out in November (I am not sure what date he has in mind) and return in early January. would therefore be away from Cambridge for part of the Michaelmas term.
He
I know this will create some difficulty for Professor Turner's academic obligations, but I ought to say that the Government attach high priority to the establishment of an effective system of labour relations in Hong Kong, and that we look on the report as the key to this. It is important therefore that it should be completed as soon as possible.
I have given you this explanation because I hope that the University can grant Professor Turner leave of absence in November, so that he can have enough time in Hong Kong to finish his work by early 1979.
