Dear Len
FEC 13/3
I had a copy of your letter and inventory from Mr. Livingstone today to
advise on that should be done witht our stuff there.
Remember when we had dinner I said there wate a ome odd items I fancied
as memento value. I've told
Livingstone what they are but none are at the Mission. If it becomes
possible to get access to the house or wherever the junk pile of
furniture is I have asked that
two Chinese stools, a half moon coffee table, a
Chinese typewriter table with shelf and a few crocks with dragon motifs
be taken to the Mission for me.
I don't know for sure how much it would cost to ship them home but since
none of the items are worth much I thought some friend of yours might
stick them in his lift van to bring home for me. That's why I'm writing
this letter to you. In the unlikely event of all this working out is
there someone at present in Peking who you could ask to do this favour
for me.
It was jolly nice to see you all again at the Brli. Shirley sends here
best wishes to you and Elizabeth. Ifyou wanted to be super too, you
could post the Deighton book back to me here. (It was a present from
Shirley in our early days') Hen hao etc.
Yours,
Tay

for Anthony Grey. This correspondence was copied to Inland Revenue, who

on the lines of the attached draft.

DRAFT REPLY
"The Inland Revenue have been in frequent communication
with Mr. Grey's accountant. They still have not received all
the information they require in order to determine whether
Mr. Grey has any liability to tax in respect of his earnings
from writings and television interviews about his experiences.
They have, however, been able to agree that Mr. Grey should
be treated as not resident and not ordinarily resident in the
United Kingdom for the year 1969-70 and also, provided the
circumstances remain unchanged, for the year 1970-71. This
means that Mr. Grey will not be taxable on the profits
derived from a book written wholly abroad while those
circumstances continue, whether the book is published here
or elsewhere, but he may be taxable on the profits derived
from television interviews and articles in United Kingdom
newspapers, These aspects are, however, still the subject
of correspondence and no final view has been reached,
The Inland Revenue are well aware of Mr. Grey's
sufferings, and they are proceeding as sympathetically as
they can, but they cannot give any final answer until they
have complete information."

EXTRACT FROM GERALD LONG'S LETTER OF SEPTEMBER 15
XXXXXXX
Last April, I wrote to Michael Stewart to ask
for his benevolent intervention in securing
some tax relief for Anthony Grey. I had an
acknowledgement from Lord Shepherd, saying that
he was looking into the matter and would write
again, but he never did, and circumstances have
since ensured that he never will. I think it
is quite likely that this matter has not been
passed on, and so I write to you to enquire what
you think my best course might be. I enclose
a copy of my letter to Mr Stewart.
send a similar one to the present incumbent, or
do you think this intervention is quite futile?
I would be very grateful to have your advice.

CAMERAMEN I SHOULD BE WILLING TO HAVE A MEMBER OF MY STAFF
APPROACH CHINESE AT WORKING LEVEL ABOUT THIS. BRITISH PRESENCE
WOULD HAVE COMMERCIAL ADVANTAGES AND, IF HANDLED PROPERLY,
COULD ALSO PRODUCE POLITICAL DIVIDEND. SINCE, HOWEVER,
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF MORE PRESSING QUESTIONS IN SINO-BRITISH

HIGH AT THIS STAGE. TIME IS SHORT AND AN APPROACH WOULD HAVE
TO BE MADE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I SHOULD THEREFORE BE GRATEFUL
