HONG KONG IVORY

1. Mr Waldegrave was grateful for your submission of 21 February on which he has noted the following in manuscript: -

"As you know, I thought that the original decision was wrong. There is always leakage of this kind and many crafty operators in Hong Kong. We should open up with Hong Kong the possibility of reviewing our decision if there is the slightest sign that their controls are being evaded".
