DECOLONISATION POLICY

26 See 25

1. I mentioned to you that Mr Stratton would like us to continue work on the draft despatch on the assumption that we will want to submit it to Ministers (of whatever persuasion) shortly after the election. He specifically mentioned the need to clear the draft with the ODM.

2. I suggest that you have your amended version of the latest draft (at w/10 on HKG 025/1) typed fair and circulated to those concerned.
