In accordance with the terms of reference it has been assumed that nuclear weapons will be required for the defence of Hong Kong.
2. We are advised that there is no hope that any British nuclear weapons of the types required will be available for the defence of Hong Kong by 1960. Therefore, any reduction in the scale of attack by air, sea or land on Hong Kong would depend upon American use of American weapons by the U.S. Navy, and the prior supply of U.S. weapons to British land and air forces in Hong Kong.
