Thank you for your letter of 24 February about the employment of women on work at night in Hong Kong.
Since we shall be meeting on 17 March to discuss
the experiences of Mr. Pendergast and yourself during
your recent visit to the Far East, may I suggest
that we should take that opportunity to discuss the points you have raised about [the exercise by the Commissioner Of Labour in Hong Kong of his powers to
H.K. J. MacGougan, allow night work by women
General Secretary of the National Union of Tailors
and Garment Workers and Mr. J. Milhench, Secretary of
unite the United Textile Factory Workers' Association, have also written to me about this and I am asking
them to join us at our meeting on the 17th if that them
will be convenient to them.
I am writing in similar terms to Mr. Greenhalgh,

work for women in Hong Kong.
