CONSULATE-GENERAL AND RESIDENTIAL ACCOMMODATION IN HONG KONG AFTER 1997

1.

Thank you for your letter of 19 December.

2. I, too, was struck when I first saw it by the size

of the suggested establishment for the Consulate-General.

It remains our best estimated at present of what will be

required, and Tony Galsworthy even thinks it may be slightly

on the low side at least for the first year or two after

1997.

3.

We see no overriding need to arrive at a firmer view

on the establishment before the State Visit. But we shall

be taking another look at the list once we have

Teddy Youde's comments also. I am sending him a copy of

this letter, and hope he may be able to let us have his

views if necessary on the establishment point only at

before long.
