Dear John,
Hong Kong
As you know, the Governor of Hong Kong will be discussing with his Executive Council on 12 October the scheme which has been devised to stabilise the Hong Kong dollar. I enclose a copy of a telegram which we have sent this evening to the Foreign Secretary in Athens to bring him up-to-date on the background. As you will see, there may be a need for some very quick decisions on 12 October. We will be in touch as necessary during the course of the day. Meanwhile we would welcome any initial views you may have on the issues raised in the telegram.
I am copying this letter to John Kerr (HM Treasury), Richard Hatfield (Cabinet Office) and John Bartlett (Bank of England), with the same request.
