MEETING OF THE HONG KONG CONSULATE GENERAL STEERING COMMITTEE,
2 JULY AT 11.30: CHAIRMAN'S BRIEF
A
B
C
1. You have kindly agreed to chair this meeting which will
take place in the India Office Council Chamber. A list of
members expected to attend and an agenda are attached.
2. The main business of the meeting will be to consider
whether construction of the new Consulate General building in
Hong Kong should go ahead on the basis of current plans. HKD
have prepared a draft submission, in consultation with OED,
RFD and NTCD, which you may wish to ask the Committee to
endorse. You may wish to note that the MRS Report has been circulated in draft and that the MRS are now digesting
comments (you have offered to chair a separate meeting between
MRS and other departments to discuss any of the points in the report that remain unresolved).
3. Other business relates to:-
British Council Questions from the Treasury about the basis
of the original joint PES bid. The Treasury have written to
RFD (Mr Marr's letter of 24 June to Mr Wootton) asking about
the basis on which the British Council is to be included in
the building, and asking for an explanation of "how the
British Council will pay for its accommodation in the new building and the effect on its grants in aid from the FCO and
ODA".
