much ex

I am writing to thank you and all concerned at the HMSO press for your heroic efforts to achieve publication of the Hong Kong White Paper last week. It was a most impressive performance. I know that you only received the text on the evening of 23 November, and that you had the White Paper ready for publication by 28 November in all its 85 pages. I can only guess at the hard work that must have been required to achieve this. Please pass on my thanks to Fred Howe and Ken Chadwick and all others

involved. I really am most grateful.
