Dear Private Secretary,

I retum the letter from Mr. Edward

Montague and suggest that the reply should be that the matter is one for the Secretary of Stats for the Colo-les and that the Prime Minister is not prepared to take any steps in the matter.

I right add, for your information, that the starent in the letter that the report was helu up for 13 ys at the Crown Agents' Office

is quite incorrect.

Yura sincerely,

The Private Secret TY

10 Downing Street.
