'Mr. Thomson,

...

3. I submit a draft telegram to Karachi which gives the full background & which also gives Karachi discretion in clearing the point about Ministry of Supply requirements. If the Pakistan Government do not regulate the export of monkeys then they can have no objection to these being exported for any purpose, & Ministry of Supply do of course satisfy Home Office requirements here. It is for this reason that I suggest that Karachi may be given discretion. While there are good reasons for having everything clear from the start we do not want to labour the point too much and create the impression that there is more [to] all this than meets the eye, which is not so.
