Mr. Hall
Lord Shepherd suggested this morning that we send
a telegram to Hong Kong expressing concern about the load that bomb incidents were placing on the police and inviting them not to be tardy about asking for any bomb
disposal assistance they might need from the Services, since
it was Lord Shepherd's understanding that Singapore could
help.
2. I do not think we can do this without embarrassment.
Four bomb disposal experts have already been flown in from
Singapore; the Ministry of Defence are proposing to bill
the Hong Kong Government for movement costs and to raise
daily capitation charges. It is likely that Hong Kong know
about this through local channels. In the circumstances,
I do not think they would be amused by a telegram on the
lines discussed.
