From The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State

Foreign and Commonwealth Office

London S.W.1

30 September, 1970.

Thank you for your letter of 21 September about amendments to the Hong Kong Trade Union Registration Ordinance.

As I am sure you understand, the proposed amendments require detailed study before we can express an opinion. Our Overseas Labour Adviser and legal advisers are now going into the matter and I hope to be able to give you our views fairly soon.

I shall be visiting Hong Kong myself from 9 to 13 October, and I would be glad to have a talk with you after my return from Asia about 23 October.

21

James Johnson, Esq., M.P.,

House of Commons,

London, S.W.1.
