You may know that my Minister (Lord Shepherd)
recently visited Hong Kong accompanied by John Moreton.
Among the subjects discussed with the Governor and also
between John Moreton and Canning, the recently appointed
Director of Education, was that of technical education.
Canning gave Moreton a copy of a memorandum pre-
pared in April for discussion by Executive Council on the development of Higher Vocational Education in Hong
Kong. I enclose a copy which you may be interested to
2.
read.// Canning entered that Hong Kong would_be____
unlikely to receive capital and from your Ministry and
anticipate I do not expect that we shall receive an application
for funds, However, he did say that at a later stage
we might be asked to assist with the recruitment of
staff. He also said that it might be helpful if
Dr. Watts, your adviser on technical education, could
visit Hong Kong. I had the impression myself from the
Lú answer your Ministry gave last February to a Parlia-
mentary Question by Anthony Royle that Dr. Watts was
lash
proposing to visit Hong Kong in March. Arthur Peckham,
to whom I am copying this letter, will recall his own
letter to me on the subject of this question dated 18
February. I do not know if Dr. Watts went to Hong Kong
or whether his visit was for some reason postponed.
But Линк You will wish in any case to know the Hong Kong
Department of Education may be suggesting a visit by
