Thank you for your letter of 17 February requesting written background on the decolonisation issue for your talk on 26 March to the Focus Group.
I attach background briefing on all the Dependent Territories which I hope you will find useful. I also attach a short note on the West Indies Associated States. Some of the material is graded Confidential; I should accordingly be grateful if you would check with us if you intend to draw on it in detail or else to use it in public. I also enclose some general papers on decolonisation which are largely unclassified.
If you wish to have an oral briefing, would you like to contact the Assistant Head, Hong Kong and General Department, Mr Philip Morrice, on 233 3184, who would be pleased to help.
