(11) WITH THE RETENTION OF THE QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS

BY THE U.K. GOVERNMENT, THE DOOR SHOULD BE KEPT

CPEN FOR THE SINGAPORE COVERNMENT TO NEGOTIATE

AT A SUBSEQUENT DATE ON THE FOLLOWING:-

(A) THE SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS TO ENABLE THE

TRANSFER OF QUOTA FROM CERTAIN CATEGORIES

TO OTHER CATEGORIES: AND

(B) THE PROVISION TO ENABLE SINGAPORE TO

UTILISE MORE THAN 209 OF THE SPECIAL

COUNTRY QUOTA FOR CERTAIN CATEGORIES AND

(C)

ANY OTHER ARRANGEMENTS THAT THE U.K.

GOVERNMENT MAY ALLOW TO ASSIST SINGAPORE

IN THE EXPORT OF HER COTTON TEXTILES TO

THE U.K. MARKET.

5. WITH REFERENCE TO PARAGRAPH 10 OF THE AIDE MEMOIRE MENTIONED ADOVE, IF THE QUANTITATIVE RESTRICTIONS ARE TO BE RETAINED BY THE U.K. GOVERNMENT IN 1972, THEN THE SINGAPORE GOVERNMENT AGREES TO CONTINUE TO ADMINISTER THE COUNTRY QUOTAS. THE U.K, GOVERNMENT'S

DECISION TO ALLOW THE USUAL 15 GROWTH FOR 1972 HAS ALSO BEEN NOTED.

6. I SHALL BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU CAN INFORM ME EARLY OF THE U.Ka

GOVERNMENT'S REACTION TO THE ABOVE PROPOSALS.

FALLE,

MUNA
