Thank you for your letter of 21 December enclosing the letter which you sent to The Times about Hong Kong.
I have seen your exchange of letters with Lynda Chalker and know that she has replied direct to your letter of 18 December. I will certainly bear Pliny in mind - "Ne supra crepidum sutor iudicaret". I share the doubt which you express that the present problem rests upon or should be resolved by narrow legalistic points alone, but that does not diminish my resolve that as much precision as possible should be achieved.
