Letter on Annex.
Hijacking in Dependent Territories Your minute of 4 January, copied to
Mr Brown.
There have been no further amendments to
the Standing Instructions on hijack situations
You will however see from MOD letter to the
Fortress HQ in Gibraltar that the MoD have
reservations about the Resident Battalion hav-
ing primary responsibility for containing hijacks. They feel that the primary respons- ibility should rest with the Police force, with the Army providing support. MAED now hold papers on Hijack Contingency Plans for Gibraltar and will be able to let you know if and when any amendments are made to take
account of this.
