Hong Kong -- Description and travel

Contents consist chiefly of correspondence relating to the visit by a UK parliamentary delegation in 9/56. The delegation, of which JH was a member, had travelled to Hong Kong from China, arriving on 10/9/56. The visit was scheduled to last until 26/9/56 but was curtailed when the delegation was instructed to return to London immediately in order to participate in the debate on the Suez crisis.

While in Hong Kong JH negotiated an arrangement with the publishers of the 'South China Morning Post' under which he would write a fortnightly column of news from London. The file contains items relating to this agreement.
