Your letter of 16 December arrived on my desk on Saturday (27 December) and so as to let you know that it hasn't disappeared into limbo I am writing in haste to say that James So hopes to let you have the answer to your query in the next few days. I have discussed it briefly with him and while I would hope that it will be possible to give an affirmative answer, there are implications vis-a-vis other serving officers in the UK which need careful examining.

It was good to hear from you and I look forward to seeing you and Paula next March.

All the very best for the

New Year.

Yours aye,

Нашат
