FURTHER ACTION.

Constitutional changes.
1. I agree that points (a) to (a) of the
representations of the General Chamber of
Commerce have already received the fullest
consideration, and that there is no cause to
reconsider any of Sir Mark Young's recommenda-
tions on these matters, as modified, in the
case of point (c), by paragraph 3(b) of my
despatch No. 222 of the 3rd July. I shall
accordingly be glad if you will cause a
suitable reply to be sent to the General
Chamber of Commerce on my behalf, either now
or when the despatches are published, whichever
you consider the more appropriate.
2. Point (e) is, as you say, new, and I am
addressing you separately on it. Meanwhile
you may wish to inform the General Chamber of
Commerce that I have taken note of their views
on this matter.
