Mr. Gaminara

I have discussed this with Sir James McPetrie. We think that it would be better if your department asked for a copy of the revised draft Bill with some sort of explanatory memorandum directing attention to points of particular interest or difficulty. We

doubt very much whether the notes on clauses would be

of any help to the Hong Kong authorities and I gather

that Mr. Roberts did not see them when he was here.

We agree entirely that there would be no point in asking the Parliamentary Commissioner to look at

the draft Bill left with us by the Governor in

October last.
