Messages from The Queen and from the Secretary
of State are being sent to the Governor today.
Your paragraph 3. Governor has reported
2.
"I do not expect to request any form of assistance".
In the circumstances it is unlikely that HMG will
offer assistance but the matter is being
considered.
In any event we do not think it
would be appropriate for such assistance to be
announced by anybody in Hong Kong other than the
Governor.
