HONG KONG DEFENCE CONTRIBUTION

1.

Mr Wilford suggested yesterday that the Governor would appreciate a short telegram thanking him for his telegram No.49. I agree. A draft is attached.

2.

The preliminary reactions to the Governor's latest proposals at departmental level in other Departments is as follows-

MOD Favourable. The offer should be accepted. We might

possibly be able to isolate the Treasury.

Treasury Completely non-commital. Proposals now being

submitted to higher authority.

Department of the Environment - No opinion one way or the other (but what they think is unimportant anyhow).

27 January 1971
