Mr Parry

Dear Mr

19 August 1980

bo

Thank you for your letter of 6 August to Peter Blaker who is on leave. You enclosed a letter from the Hong Kong Civil Servants General Union.

I covered this ground in my answers to your questions on 8 August (Hansard Col 382-3). Given this, and the fact that one of the key issues remains sub judice, it would not be right for me to comment further at this stage.

I am returning the enclosure to your letter.

Your Pincerely

Fora Front
