(Submits proposals re transfer of Wireless Services to I. and I.C. Ltd., and requests instructions as to the further conduct of negotiations.)

With reference to 28 in 62762/29 and

previous correspondence:

? now communicate to Sir B. Blackett (s.o.

for Mr. Vernon's signature) the terms - (a) (f)

in § 2 of

(1)

C

upon which the Hong Kong Government

is prepared to dispose of its wireless undertaking

to I. & I.C. Ltd. in orderto ascertain whether these

terms are likely to be acceptable to the Company.

Sir B. Blackett should also be informed as in the

(1)

last sentence of gl and 64 of (a).

With regard to the transfer of staff, I take

it that what the Governor wants is pp:75 et seg of

Cmd.3338 (flagged in 61246/29 and a copy can be

sent to him in due course when we have seen whether

or not the negotiations are likely to proceed

further.

If the sale is to be effected I presume

that an agreement on similar lines to that executed

between H.M. G. and I. & 1.C. Ltd. see Cmd. 3338

will eventually have to be entered into by the Hong

Kong Government and the Company.

This had perhaps better be transferred

in due course to a separate file, neither the title

nor the other contents of this one are relevant.

As Mr. Vernon is on leave for some time

to come, Mr. Ellis or I should sign the pro-osed

letter?

Otherwise I agree.
