Thank you for your Top Secret letter
MO/5/14 of the 1st August about Hong Kong.
I am quite content with this approach to the
problem of evacuation planning. I have nominated
H.P. Hall, the Assistant Under Secretary with
responsibility for Hong Kong, as the official
concerned on our side. Perhaps you would instruct
the officials you propose to associate with this
study to get in touch with him.
I am sending copies of this to other members
of the Ministerial Committee on Hong Kong and to
No.10 and Sir Burke Trend.
