HONG KONG: FUTURE RN PRESENCE
Mr Griffiths, Finance
Dept
Problem
1. To persuade the MOD to retain responsibility for funding
the patrol craft now that the Governor of Hong Kong has reconfirmed there is no chance of Hong Kong providing
additional funds.
Recommendation
2. I recommend that the Private Secretary should write to
PS/Defence Secretary copied to No 10, setting out the
position and making clear that we see this as a charge which
properly falls to the MOD. I submit a draft. RMD, SAAD and
NPDD are content.
