Thank you for your letter of February
about the designation of the Hong Kong Police
Force.
I can well understand your impatience
at the delay. But I do assure you that there
have been real difficulties which, happily,
have now been resolved. I am able to tell you,
in strict confidence, that we have now approached
the Palace to see whether Her Majesty would honour
the Hong Kong Police Force by designating them the
Royal Hong Kong Police.
I will keep you informed.
