House of Commons,

London, S.W.1.

To Mr. D.Rees-Williams, M.P.

Parl. Under Sec' for the Colonies.

Dear Sir,

I was a member of the recent Goodwill Mission to China and have to speak on matters concerning that country at one or two public meetings in the near future. Most of the statements I have already made, included a testimony to the mutual goodwill between our two peoples. I am concerned with the recent troubles around Hong Kong and Canton and you mentioned that you might be able to supply me with the background of those troubles.

Yours sincerely,

(Sgd.) James Harrison, M. P
