HONG KONG TELNO 1988: INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION FOR SAFE

CONTAINERS

1. I have sent a holding reply to TUR. But we really must give substantive advice to Hong Kong on their query which dates from 1989.

2. I attach a draft telegram based on Ms Barrett's minute to Mr Sainty of 17 April. I haved copied to Hamilton to encourage them to provide the information which Mrs Gwynn has requested by letter.

3. I should be grateful for any comments on the draft by close of play on 2 July.
