Dear Mr. Ballantyne,

Would you please fefer to your letter LC1053/542/452 of the 8th of March about a grant for Hong Kong University.

By Secretary of State has agreed that the approach to the Treasury should be at the permanent Under-Secretary level, but he trusts that the joint letter from Sir Orme Sargent and Sir Thomas Lloyd will make it clear that the whole matter has been fully and carefully considered by the two Ministers and has their support.

I should be grateful if we might see the draft of the letter you would propose to send.

Yours sincerely,

A.K. BALLANTYNE, ESQ.
