Thank you for your letter of 24 September. We have put the matter to the Secretary of State, explaining the whole position, including the differing practice in Hong Kong and the other dependencies.
He has decided to let matters rest as they are.
2. In case the issue is raised when the Lord Privy Seal visits Hong Kong we shall brief him defensively, taking the line in paragraph 5 of your letter.
I know that you will let us know
3. I hope this is helpful. if there are any developments at your end.
