AID FOR HONG KONG
1.
In November 1972 in Hong Kong Mr Royle announced that
HMG was prepared to provide £500,000 for books and equipment
for the Polytechnic in addition to the £400,000 already made
available for the Hong Kong Technical Institutes.
2. In respect of the Polytechnic Hong Kong have provided
us with sufficient material for a submission to be prepared
for the ODA Projects Committee (necessary for all aid in
excess of £400,000 per project). No difficulty is envisaged
over this submission.
3. In respect even of the first of the Technical Institutes
we await from the Hong Kong Government a breakdown of
expenditure and other details to enable us to prepare a
submission to the Projects Committee. We hope Sir M MacLehose
can speed this up.
