Dear Mr. Ballantyne,

Would you please refer to your letter

LC1053/542/452 of the 8th of March about

a grant for Hong Kong University.

approach to the Treasury should be at the

permanent Under-Secretary level, but he

trusts that the joint letter from

Sir Orme

Sargent and Sir Thomas Lloyd

will make it clear that the whole matter

has been fully and carefully considered by

the two Ministers and has their support.

should

I shall be grateful if we might see the

draft of the letter you would propose to

send.

Yours sincerely,
