APPOINTMENT OF NEW COMMANDER BRITISH FORCES HONG KONG
pud.
A 1. The Minister will wish to know that the MOD have informed us -
that they have selected Major General B M Dutton to succeed
Major General J F Foley as Commander British Forces Hong Kong in
August 1994. They have asked for the agreement of the FCO and
the Governor to the appointment.
2.
I
None of us personally know Major General Dutton, but having
read the personal and professional details attached to the MOD letter, I can see no reason not to agree to the appointment.
therefore recommend that, once we have consulted the Governor,
we respond to the MoD agreeing to the appointment.
