In view of your comments we propose to
recommend the substitution of the following for
(b) of our telegram No. 715:
11
(b) In the light of a reassessment of the
situation generally, it is no longer considered
necessary to make certain of the adjustments to
the Force levels which had previously been
contemplated in different circumstances."
2. In the event of a further question specifically
asking whether this means that an additional infantry
battalion will not now be sent to Hong Kong, we
propose to recommend a simple affirmative reply.
3. We see no objection to proposal in second
sentence of your paragraph 4.
4.
Grateful to learn urgently if you agree with
/proposals.....
