| To BJ. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to CWB. VE540 SECRET. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG25.8.25. 10,000 MILES TEST ON 'INDIA' IN FRANCE. Answering your BJ14/H24.8.25. If there is no further hitch, the 7,000 miles running on the car in France should be completed during this week-end. We have instructed our men at Chateauroux that when CWB. arrives, they should work to his instructions. If CWB. proposes to be at Chateauroux the whole time during the 8,000/9,000th. miles, we could then perhaps arrange to bring back some of the men because whilst they are there we have to pay them whether they work or play.
