DEFENCE REVIEW: HONG KONG
1.
I have submitted separately a telegram to the Governor about the Cabinet's decision on the 3 December Ministerial statement. We should accompany this with a private explanatory statement. Otherwise there would be a risk of protest from the Governor which, in present circumstances, would not help.
2.
I submit a draft.
