Dear Saul,
I ara afraid there is not much light
to be cast on the question raised in your personal
letter of December 11. Since you received the
documents, Ministers have looked at them and presumably discussed them a couple of times,. However,
no decisions have been taken up to this point as
far as we know. It would be pretty profitless
even to conjecture about future developments. But
as soon as anything happens we would, of course,
let you know.
season.

With best wishes for the Christmas
Yours s i n c e r e l y ,
U A, D. STEPHEHS
