Reference

ment

1. I attach the comments of the Hong Kong Governor on the letter of complaint received from the General Secretary of the Government School Non-Graduate Teachers Union, together with a suggested reply.

2. While it would seem that there is some justification for Hong Kong's attitude, I really do not feel that the draft is one which we could accept, particularly in view of the Minister's known interest in the growth of trade unions in Hong Kong.

3.

I should be grateful for your comments.
