Two copies of the previous bomb report were brought back from Hong Kong
by Sir Arthur Galsworthy in January this year. of the two copies is at
/681 on HWB 1/17 and the second was retained by the Police Adviser.
2.
As copies of the present report have been distributed through the
services and the London based intelligence agencies in Hong Kong there
is little distribution left for us to do. I suggest we keep one copy on
file and one in the department and send one each to the Police Adviser
and Far Eastern Department. The remaining two copies should, I suggest,
be destroyed as we do not have unlimited space for the storage of
confidential documents.
3. I attach a draft acknowledgment to Harrison.

Mr. Carter
Mr. C. H. Godden
HWB1/18
Mi kamyone of..
I am now sending you a draft record of the whole of Lord Shepherd's
discussions with Hr. Jackson- Lipkin, covering both interviowo on 13 and
20 November.
2.
The first interview was entirely concerned with legal matters, and I do
not believe that it will be necessary to take any action other than that
which followed the Minister's previous meeting with Mr. de Basto,
Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, during August. Such action as
was then necessary has been taken on File HWB 14/61 but there is nothing
yet to report.
3. As Mr. Jackson-Lipkin was told on the 20 November, it will be very
difficult to follow up his report that a Magistrate sentenced certain
spectators at his court summarily for contempt until he, Mr. Jackson
-Lipkin, provides us with full details, which he has undertaken to do. I
understand that at the time of the disturbances there was a concerted
Communist attempt to disrupt proceedings in a Magistrate's Court where
the offenders had to be dealt with summarily by contempt procedure, but
their misconduct amounted to a great deal more than merely failing to
stand up. Hr. Jackson-Lipkin may well have picked up an incomplete or
biased account of that or a similar occasion.
4.
Police (Paras 8 and 9 of the record).
It has not been difficult to establish that there is no truth whatsoever
in Mr. Jackson-Lipkin's allegation that the Crown Agents recruit British
Police Officers without using at opnídidates' interviews the services of
any Senior Hong Kong Police Officer who huppene to be on leave at the
time and available. According to Mr. Jackson- Lipkin this charge was
made at the Police Training School, but in fact it transpires that
Senior Superintendent P. T. Hoor, Commandant Designate of the Police
Training School is on leave at the moment and has been sitting at
candidates' interviews with the Crown Agents. This apart other Police
Officers on leave have attended previously and the Police Advisers, FCO,
both with very considerable overseas police experience, attend
regularly,
5. Although I have not recorded it in the note of the meeting, Mr.
Jackson-Lipkin also charged that vacancies in the Hong Kong force vore
not properly notified at this end, so that to his knowige Metropolitan
Police, who would have applied were unable to do so. I have established
that all such yácancies are advertised and that interested Officers from
the Metropolitan Force may apply and have on occasions done вo.
/It is impossible
6. It is impossible to take seriously Mr. Jackson- Lipkin's accusation
that no Director of Education had ever visited a "roof-top school"
simply because, presumably, he was told at the one such school he
visited himgalf that the Director had not been there, It is likely that
he was given the answer the school authorities thought he wanted. With
regard to the relation between the number of primary and secondary
school places, I noe that an analysis of the
progression for 1966 (the latest figures available at this stage) of the
percentage presing from primary schools to school certifio te courses
whol
Government and Aided School
15.6%
Assisted places in Private
Schools
2.5%
Private Schools
50.3%
68.4%
The total percentago progressing from primary schooln to Modern,
Tecunical, an. Special Courses, not leading to a school certificate, was
higher, 73.6%.
7.
Terms of Service and Administration,
I do not think it is worth commenting on these hardy annu-l com,1/ints
against Colonial service. They arise of course from the different
conditions which must apply to expatriates and indigenous staff and from
the establishment difficulties caused by periods of bone leave for
expatriates.
8.
Agricultyre.
Farming subsidies are not paid in the Colony, but there fe excellent
arrangements for agricultural credit, financial assistance being
rendered to farmers from a number of credit funds administerců by the
department, the Government accepting responsibility of bearing such
ccuts in addition to supplementing these funds as necessary. Work on
improved breeding streing of live-stock is concentrated on pigs end
poultry rather than cattle. There is very limited grazing for cattle,
and thuse in the Colony are reared and maintained principally for draft
purposes.
But there
is a herd of dairy Freeian cttle which has to be maintained in
specialised conditions by the Government.

28th November, 1968.
Last week I sent you six copies of a Special Branch bomb report.
Immediately thereafter
I was told that there was a chronic shortage of copies here and I am now
in some embarrassment to meet demands. I wonder if it would be possible
for you to arrange that, of your six copies, one goes to MOD(DIS2), one
to the Security Service and one to MI6. This will make it easier for me
to satisfy a rather clamorous demand here.
2.
I apologise for this but Special Branch, on whom I bid for extra copies,
were too late in confessing their shortage.
