I am writing to congratulate you on the arrangements
you made for the remarkably speedy publication of the
Hong Kong White Paper last week (Cmnd 9407). It was a
most impressive demonstration of HMSO's capabilities.
I know that your printers only received the text (which
to some 85 pages) on the evening of 23 November. Advance copies of the text, printed and proof-read were
available by 28 November. The efforts of Ron Gair and his
team at the HMSO press here have made a significant contri-
bution to Parliament's consideration of this extremely
important subject.
GEOFFREY HOWE
I am most grateful to all concerned.
