that it contains will be implemented.
Since the proposals have should
not yet been submitted to Executive Council they not be discussed
detail with Mr. Thornton or Mr. Greenhalgh.

Mr. Thornton has had a long interest in this matter. In
March, 1965, when he last wrote to Ministers, Mr. Greenwood replied
that he hoped to achieve some progress but doubted whether it would
be possible to get very far until the U.K. temporary import surcharge
had been removed.

Mr. Greenhalgh was a member of the delegation of United
Kingdom Textile Workers' Unions whom the Secretary of State saw on
the present subject in June. The Secretary of State said then that
he would be extremely disappointed if some progress in the reduction
of the permitted hours of work for women and young persons was not
made in the near future and that he would be speaking about this during
his visit to Hong Kong in August.
