TELEX TO: HONG KONG COMMISSIONER,
LONDON
FOR COMMISSIONER (WEBB-JOHNSON) FROM SG UMELCO
14 MAR 1935
I HAVE ADVISED LORD KADOORIE YOU HAVE RESERVED SEATS FOR HIS PARTY FOR THE THIRD READING DEBATE AND THAT YOU WILL BE TELEXING HIM DIRECTLY AFTER THE COMMITTEE STAGE.
YOU MENTIONED THAT HIS SPEECH AT THE THIRD READING SHOULD BE SHORT AND YOU HOPE TO HAVE A CLEARER PICTURE OF THE CONVENTIONS APPLYING TO THIRD READING SPEECHES AFTER THE COMMITTEE STAGE. LORD KADOORIE WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FOR ABOUT 7 TO 8 MINUTES AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER HE MAY DO SO. HE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO BE ASSURED THAT ANY NOTICE REQUIRED OF HIS SPEECH HAS BEEN GIVEN AND THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF HIM BEING DENIED THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. HE IS COMING TO LONDON ONLY TO SPEAK AT THE THIRD READING AND WOULD APPRECIATE SPECIFIC ASSURANCES ON THESE TWO POINTS.
LORD KADOORIE IS MOST APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR EFFORTS AS I AM MYSELF FOR YOUR CONTACT WITH LORD RHODES. I WILL TRY TO CONTACT THE OFFICE ON MONDAY AFTER WE CHECK IN AT THE GROSVENOR.
SARGANT.
