7th September, 1950.

Dear Mr. Kirkness

This is not a matter for the Treasury at least in the initial stages as I think you will agree; it

J

seems to lie between your office and the Board of Trade (Insurance and Companies Department, Lacon House)? But as the matter concerns Hong Kong, you should, I think, see it first. Indeed, I understand that

Miss Bocock, of your South East Asia Department, would like to see the letter.

I have not told the M.P. that I am passing the letter to you, in case you decide to pass it on to the Board of Trade.
