1. You will have seen Christopher Roberts (Dept of Trade) letter of 14 August to Michael Burton and also replies received from Peking (Ambassador's letter of 18 September) and Hong Kong (Telegram 1044 of 23 November,
2. A recent telephone conversation with the DOT has drawn attention to the fact that this matter remains open and that FCO views are still awaited (para 13 of Roberts letter). I should welcome any thoughts you may have on this subject, preferably as soon as possible after the Christmas holiday break.
