Dear Howard Drake,

30th May, 1958

The Chancellor has the Colonial Secretary's minute of 23rd May about Hong Kong and he hopes to reply as soon as possible. But before doing so he would like to have the views of the Minister of Defence and the Secretary of State for War.

I am copying this letter to Ward and Armstrong.
