10th January, 1947.

Dear Mr. Gilchrist,

Would you please refer to my letter reference us above of the (39) 18th of December about the Indian

Contingent of the Hong Kong Police Force. You may remember that we spoke on the telephone about this on the 21st of December when I explained how anxious we were to come to a decision about the reduced membership of the Indian Contingent.

I now enclose a copy of secret telegram 10.55 from the Governor, Tuken in paragraph 2 of which, you will see

that he stresses again how urgently the Indians are required for duty in Hong Kong.

yen Willson, ferty.

we have had two or three petitions from members of the Hong Kong Police Force now in India in regard to their future position but it is not possible of course to answer these satisfactorily until a decision has been reached on policy.
