NOTHING TO BE WRITTEN IN THIS MARGIN

W(B)L 51-7406

CONFIDENTIAL

13. We shall, of course, have to carry the

Board of Trade with us at each stage

draft

Submitted

and the attached/submission is being cleared with them before it is formally to Ministers here & in the Board of Trade

& in kind

connected with aerials where again the

advent of TVB has raised issues concerning

certain other rights conferred on RTV under

their licence. It would appear that legally

Case

RTV have an unassailable ause here, but the

Governor is insistant that in equity he

must vary the present situation with the

risk that the Government may be taken

to Court and compelled to pay compensation

to RTV.

#2. Here, I think, we can authorise the

Governor to proceed as he wishes at his own

risk. Again this is a problem which ought

to be soluble by men of good will. We had

hoped that a concession by RTV to TVB in

the matter of aerials might have been

matched by one by TVB/in the matter of

relaying.

14. I am putting these papers

to

you now

Since it is possible (although, I think,

unlikely) that one

Governor will raise

the matter with you

when

you

are im

Hong Kong. & you should therefore be aware

of the general fackground.
