FROM THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE COLONIES
Code
27
TO HONG KONG (Sir A. Grantham)
Sent 21st October, 1948. 10.00 hrs.
No.1087 Restricted.
Your despatch No.247 of the 13th October. Relaxation of Treasury control.
I can only assume that it was due to BONG oversight that your communication dated the
13th October should have been by despatch instead of by telegram. As was only to be expected your despatch was received too late to permit consideration of your proposal in its last sentence in time to
communicate with you before this morning.
Please send by earliest air meil copy of
statement made in Legislative Council.
