1. Since my minute of 22 January, I have found further information which modifies some of the points on sovereigntylover the New Territories (page 8 of the main draft). I attach an amended page. Mr Watts will of course wish to consider whether I have represented the position fairly. The legal views appear to conflict but that of Sir Gerald Fitzmaurice looks good sense.
