inordinate length of

I am sorry it is taking such an time to finalise our reply to Hong Kong telno 3626. I have now recast the telegram in accordance with your minute under reference and, as requested, am clearing it with you and Mr Fifoot Mr Edwards. Given the view in paragraph 2 of your minute, I have recast the point about essential and overriding considerations of economic policy in a more tentative way.

I should be grateful for any comments by telephone by 1800 on 25 January. Nil returns are not required.
