that would be "extremely disappointed if
something isn't done this summer.
I think we
will get an improvement in the very near future".
In
de event Mr. Lee's hopes were not fulfilled but the Prime Minister trusts that you will accept that Mr. Lee was completely sincere in expressing those hopes and had no intention whatsoever of
misleading you.
The Minister of State and the Commonwealth Secretary feel very strongly on the subject of curtailing hours of work for women and young persons in Hong Kong and are doing, and will con- tinue to do, everything they can to achieve that object in the shortest possible space of time. The Prime Minister understands only too well the difficulty of your position and deeply appreciates
He the loyalty you have shown in this matter. very much hopes that you will accept his assurances that this matter is being pressed forward as firmly and as quickly as circumstances permit, and that you will continue to lend your support to the Minister. He would not wish to influence what you have to say to the textile workers on 27 April, but he hopes that nothing will be said which might hinder us in achieving the object which we all wish to attain.
