REA 27 PE17

In reply to Mr. Grindle's letter No. 19307 of the

18th instant, I am directed by the Secretary of State for

India to say that he is obliged to the Secretary of State

for the Colonies for having invited his opinion in the

matter of granting permission for the advertisement and

purchase of tickets of the Western Indian Turf Club War Loan

Lottery in Hong Kong. But he has no desire to ask that the

provisions of the law in force in that Colony should be

disregarded.

The Under Secretary of State,

Colonial Office.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

MC.Seton
