RESIDENCE OF FUTURE CONSUL-GENERAL
1. The Director of Administration has written to
Mr Ricketts with the results of a detailed study of three
houses which HKG consider have potential for the residence
of the future Consul General. Only one of the houses
has any real potential, and only then if we were able to
demolish it and build from scratch. Lord Caithness may wish
to take the opportunity of his stop-over in Hong Kong to
thank the Governor for HKG's efforts, but to express the hope that they have some rather better properties up their
sleeves. (Should the opportunity not arise we shall, of course, pursue at working level.) OED agree. Mr Ricketts
has seen in draft and agrees.
2. In Mr Bertam's absence I discussed this with OED
Area Manager Mr Savage. None of the properties on offer provide adequate representational accommodation. The minimum senior grade entitlement would require a drawing
room, a dining room, a kitchen/preparation area, and a study
of respectively: 65 square metres, 40 square metres, 40
