Amendments to Hong Kong Trade Union Registration

Ordinance

We have now received a letter from Mr. Victor

Feather about this.

2. I have spoken to Mr. Eaton, the Legal Adviser who

is dealing with the matter, and he tells me that he

hopes to discuss the Bill with Mr. Steel within the

next few days and to let us have their considered views

some time next week. Meanwhile, he has, I gather, sent the papers to Mr. Foggon for tomorrow's meeting with Messrs Gibson and Greenhalgh.

3. I suggest that Mr. Royle might send an interim

reply to Mr. Feather on the lines of the attached draft.
