discussed at length with a representative of Messrs Gibson & Wildon, who state that they act as London Agents for Messrs Deacon, Looker, Deacon & Houston, and a copy of the record of the interview is attached for your information. A copy of subsequent correspondence with Messrs Gibson & Wildon is also attached. The letter is held in custody. The better to inform Messrs Gibson & Wildon of the concurrence of the Govt.

I have to request that Messrs Deacon, Looker, Deacon & Houston be informed that this has not always been the case. I have to inform you that I have requested you to report on any representations which they may make with a view to showing that local shareholders have not favoured an alternative scheme, but they should also be informed that I have to be consulted before any concession which might sanction it would require my approval after consultation with the Departments interested in the matter.
