BRIEF BY OVERSEAS ESTATE DEPARTMENT FOR THE VISIT OF
MR GOODLAD TO HONG KONG: MAY 1992
A sheet of Essential Facts and Post Estate Strategy is
attached. These have been agreed with Post.
1.
Offices:
2.
The lease for the BTC offices runs until April 1997 but
can be terminated earlier if need be. As a contingency
against expansion of BTC in the run up to 1997, we recently
leased the remainder of the ninth floor. Work to adapt it for
BTC use is due to complete in May.
3. The JLG Offices are larger than we need at present and
could also provide for additional requirements in the period
up to 1997.
Residences:
4.
The Senior Trade Commissioner has an excellent apartment
in The Albany close to Hong Kong's business centre. It could
serve the future Consul General after 1997 if need be.
The Senior Representative to the Joint Liaison Group lives in
a modern town house on the Peak. It is small but serves the
purpose well enough at present.
