Department

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
