old General Department files and of files in the Commonwealth Policy and Planning Registry, and the Far Eastern and Pacific Registry, we have been unable to find a letter written by Sir David Trench to Sir Saville Garner, on the possibility of The Queen visiting Hong Kong to open the Plover Cove Water Scheme.

I have spoken to Mr. MacInnes who agrees with the
