Dear Mr Paul

COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES IN HONG KONG AFTER 1997

The article in The Times last month by the President of the Law Society in Hong Kong reminded us of the need to make firm arrangements to safeguard the Commonwealth war graves there after 1997.

You kindly undertook in your letter of 16 February to keep our interests in mind when considering items for discussion at the JLG and I am writing to ask whether there is any clearer indication of when the war graves might be included.

Yours sincerely,

Roger falling
