I attach a formal submission in respect of
the proposal to accord the title "Royal" to both
Hong Kong Police Forces and for Princess
Alexandra to become honorary "Commandant
General".
The Prime Minister has decided that after
receipt of formal approval from Her Majesty
and from Princess Alexandra, the news should be
released as soon as possible in reply to an arranged Parliamentary Question Co-ordinating
would be made,
arrangements with the Governor of Hong Kong
so that a simultaneous announcement can be
made there. Sir Martin Charteris has advised
over the telephone that you would have no
objection to this being done.
