7th September, 1950.
Dear Mr. Kirkness
This is not a matter for the Treasury at least in the initial stages as I think you will agree; it
J
seems to lie between your office and the Board of Trade (Insurance and Companies Department, Lacon House)? But as the matter concerns Hong Kong, you should, I think, see it first. Indeed, I understand that
Miss Bocock, of your South East Asia Department, would like to see the letter.
I have not told the M.P. that I am passing the letter to you, in case you decide to pass it on to the Board of Trade.
