In connection with the arrangements for
the further reinforcement of Hong Kong my
colleagues and I have been giving anxious
consideration to the issues raised in your
secret despatch No. 15 of the 3rd May.
On the one hand we fully recognise that it
ansit and
is most important that the commercial life
of Hong Kong should be maintained to the
fullest extent compatible with the developing
situation. On the other hand we have been
other
impressed by the necessity of adapting er
existing arrangements so as to render as
effective as possible the exceptional efforts
which we are making to place Hong Kong in a
position to meet the various possible threats
to its security.
The Minister of Defence, who has taken
part in all our deliberations, will be in a
position to discuss these matters fully
I
with you on his arrival and to inform you of
the conclusions which we have reached.
have every confidence that you will be
satisfied with the arrangements which we have
worked out.
