He apologised for the

slow progress' made on the S K Tang bequest. The matter is

now in the hands of Steven Slack, a lawyer at the Charity

Commission, Woodfield House, Tangier, Taunton PA1 4BL, telephone 0823 345000 Ext 5011, 1389.)

2.

Mr Venables said that the major issue on the S K Tang

bequest at the moment was whether the Attorney General in

the UK or in HK should be asked to consent to our

applications for a trust. He described the matter as quite complicated and I requested a minute setting down the

details.

3.

This was promised on Mr Slack's behalf.

Nime

Mr Venables requested a copy of a letter før S K Tang to the Goveñor which recorded that S K Tang wished to make a

bequest. I am seeking it out, although it will date back to

pre-1986.

4.

We await further news, hopefully to arrive in the near

future.
