SOUTH ATLANTIC FUND: HONG KONG
Problem
1. To acknowledge the contribution of £2,000,000 made by the
Hong Kong Government to the South Atlantic Fund.
Recommendation
2. I recommend that Lord Belstead telegraph the Governor
expressing HMG's appreciation of Hong Kong's action. I
attach a draft.
Background and Argument
See (97)
3. In response to proposals made by Unofficials Members of
the Executive and Legislative Councils, the Hong Kong Govern-
ment has approved a contribution of £2,000,000 to the South
Atlantic Fund. Such a generous donation deserves to be
acknowledged and it seems appropriate for a Minister to do
so personally. I suggest that this should come from Lord Belstead,
who has responsibility for Hong Kong.
