Note for the Record
Mr. Royle decided on arrival in Hong Kong to take an early opportunity to speak to the Governor privately about his exchange of letters with the Secretary of State. This private talk was to pave the way for further examination in detail of
the proposals in the Secretary of State's letter. In fact after the Governor had had an opportunity to explain how resentful he felt about the implication (sic) of the Secretary of State's letter that no thought had been given by him to these subjects in the past (!), agreement was reached between Mr. Royle and the Governor on the future handling of the points raised by the Secretary of State. Mr. Royle embodied this agreement in a draft minute to the Secretary of State which was agreed (eventually) with the Governor and a copy left with him. (Further copy attached.)
2. This device was designed to ensure that the agreement was not subsequently evaded on the Hong Kong side and in particular that the time limits involved in it were fully understood.
3. Mr. Royle will not in fact necessarily wish to report to the Secretary of State precisely in the terms agreed with the Governor. The latter included a good deal of administrative detail with which the Secretary of State need not be troubled.
4. At Mr. Royle's final meeting with the Governor and his officials on 13 October, it was agreed to aim at a report by the Housing Board (even of an interim nature) in a couple of months'
time.
5.
Copy of the Governor's minute to the Secretariat on
housing is also attached.
