In Confidence

The

We have agreed to assist the Hong Kong Government to

make improvements to the emergency accommodation

under construction, so as to ensure that it is secure

and able to withstand severe weather conditions.

Hong Kong Government have estimated that £5.6 million

will be required from us in the current rinancial

year. A detailed breakdown of expenditure is set out

at Annex A.

(b) Long term accommodation

The Hong Kong Government have asked us to make a 50%

contribution to the funding of a new long-term camp

on Tai a Chau to provide accommodation for the

inevitable influx of Vietnamese boat people in spring

and summer 1990 and to allow other camps in much

needed development areas to be shut down in due

course. The Hong Kong Government estimate that

£13 million will be required from us, £5 million

falling in the current financial year. The case for

this expenditure is set out at Annex B.
