FURTHER ACTION.
For Miss Ruston's signature.
Dear Mr. Grimwood,
Mr. Mayle has asked me to reply to
your letter of r'ebruary 22nd enclosing copies
С
of letters from Messrs. Preege, Cardew and
Rider about the disposal of a 2,900 line
telephone exchange for Hong Kong. There are
no papers in the Colonial Ofrice about this
matter which appears to have been conducted entirely by the Planning Unit and is we do
not know what, if any, guarantee was given by
Mir. Thomson to the Hong Kong Telephone
Company and what are the relations between
the Company and the Hong Kong Government, I
1 think that before asking Messrs. Preese,
Cardew and Rider to try and effect disposal
of this equipment, we should obtain
/confirmation
