The text of Sir Crew's hoster f 14 December 1972 to the Secretary-General of the Phited Nations to:-

"I have the honour to refer to General Assembly Resolution. 2906 (XXVII) of 2 November 1972 and in particular to pagraph 3, which approved the report of the Special Committee on the situation with regard to the implementation of the declaration on the granting of independênce to colonial countries and peoples covering its work during 1972. My Cav. mnment have Luxed me to form Your Excellency that, in view of paru/raph 73 of Chapter 1 of the Report of the Special Committee (A/3723 (Part 1)), they have decided that no useful practical purpose would be served by continuing to transmit information on Hong Kong under Article 73 of the United Nations Charter. My Coverment have also asked me to state that the action of the General Assembly in no way affects the legal status of Hong Kong. The views of my Government about this status are well known. They are unable to accept any differing views which have been expressed or may hereafter be expressed by other governments.

I should be grateful if you would circulate this letter as a General Assembly document".
