YOUR TELNO 254: YOUR VISIT TO HONG KONG 6-13 DECEMBER 1.
WE DO NOT KNOW WHETHER YOU HAD IT IN MIND TO RAISE THE SUBJECT OF COSTS FOR THE UK-BRUNEI EXERCISE WHEN YOU ARE IN HONG
KONG. BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF THE CURRENT NEGOTIATIONS ON RENEWAL OF THE HONG KONG DEFENCE COSTS AGREEMENT, MOD WOULD PREFER THAT YOU AVOIDED RAISING THE BRUNEI EXERCISE COSTS WITH
CBF AND HIS STAFF OR WITH THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT.
2. IF THEY RAISE THE SUBJECT WITH YOU, WE SUGGEST YOU SAY THAT THIS IS NOT A MATTER FOR YOU BUT FOR MOD WHO WILL NO DOUBT RAISE
IT WITH HKG IN DUE COURSE IN SO FAR AS IT CONCERNS HONG KONG.
