THE LEASE

92

24 August 1978

Thank you for your letter 020/393/1

of 8 August to David Wilson, which arrived just after he had left for home leave. He will no doubt see a copy of it when he calls in on H K & G D and F E D. However, I shall ensure that he sees

it on his return.

2.

I have shown your letter to the Governor who has only commented that he is glad you agree with the proposed method for deciding how to tackle the problem over leases in the New Territories.
