Since I wrote my minute of the 30th July, it has definitely been decided that U.N.R.R.A. should come to an end in December and in these circumstances it is not, in my view, worth pursuing the possibility of extending U.N.R.R.A. relief to Hong Kong. If it were going to be a simple matter it might be worth while proceeding with the idea. But I do not think it is simple at all.
