Mr. Antrobus
The 7-0. the matter doesn't really concern us now. I am asked to deal with them. I should not take it to the Treasury unless it is left to us to think about it.
The whole question of the existence of these Postal Agencies has been discussed between the C.O. & the Treasury. The point raised by the hon. Member will receive further consideration. We ought then to ask the Treasury whether, in connection with the general question on H.M. guarantee to guarantee the deficit, if we are prepared to work out this agency (now guaranteed by the Chamber of Commerce), saying that we cannot find justification for saddling Hong Kong with the cost.
Suggest to the Treasury that they should refer to CLO above. Wht. Mch.b. I have so done so.
