My love Mama CC Mr. Stupart 19K D

FIRST

I am replying to your letter (14/4) of 24 April

to Child about the form which a Note Verbale should

take for the purpose of conveying a formal protest from

the Government of Hong Kong to the Algerian Government.

You are right in thinking that the formulation

suggested in Hong Kong telegram No. 245 Saving of

7 March was incorrect.

incorrect H.M. Government is responsible

for the external affairs of Hong Kong and to this

extent the Government of Hong Kong has no separate

international entity of its own. Clearly any protest

from a Colonial Government to a foreign Government

should be made in the name of H.M. Government and we

agree that the formula you propose in para. 4 of your

letter under reference is the correct one. Hong Kong

are being informed accordingly. We are grateful to

you for drawing this matter to our attention.

25 JUN 1969.
