Impert paras 3. and 4.
In the course of a forward planning exercise here we are
currently considering the whole question of the provision of
administrative staff in the remaining dependent territories for
the next 20 years, for which as you will know the F.C.0. has
recently taken over responsibility. As part of this it is
necessary to examine in detail what provision it might be right
to make for secondments from Whitehall to administrative posts
in Hong Kong and vice versa.
2.
This subject is of course closely related to the question
of staff exchanges which has already been raised between this
office and Hong Kong and which at present rests with Leslie
Monson's two letters in file HKK 25/3, both dated 3 April 1970.
2.5. I realise that this problem has formidable and complex
implications for Hong Kong and you may well need to give it a
good deal more study before producing firm proposals as to your
own wishes and needs and as to what might be done about them at
this end.
d.>
It would however be a great help if you could be good
enough to let us have as soon as possible at least any interim
6.
thoughts you can. We should also like to take the opportunity
of your forthcoming visit to the U.K. to give further
consideration to this whole matter in discussion in the office.
