Dear Denys,

CLOSURE OF THE "CHINA MAIL"

I enclose copies of two letters which have been addressed to the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary by the General Secretary of the UK National Union of Journalists.

2.

I appreciate that there may be little that Hong Kong Government can do. But Ministers would like to reply to the NUJ as fully as possible. We would be grateful for your early advice on a draft.

Yours eve
