MR JAMES LAMOND'S PQ

1. I attach a revised draft telegram to Hong Kong.

I have cleared the timing with Parliamentary Office, who are anxious to receive the reply by mid-day Wednesday 10 May. I have therefore asked Hong Kong for a reply by close of play on Tuesday 9 May.

2. The letter which Mr. Laird drafted to Sir D. Trench in February 1971 is at Flag A.
