Minute by M. Ommanney
It appears from the attached letter from Sir E. Ward
that Lord Roberts is in favour of a reduction;

an increase is actually contemplated.
Administratively, it seems difficult to comply
with the wishes of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
In Chamberlain's view,
the garrison for Hongkong should comprise 3265 Infantry Ranks and File,
of which 904 should be British - the present Infantry strength seems to be 2160, of which about 460 are British. The Infantry is therefore not up to strength, but is also weak in the British element.
The withdrawal of an Indian regiment
would be ineffective.
"I press on Sir E. Ward the necessity of meeting his wishes and that at a time of pressure like the present

serious cut in the case of Hong Kong.
Citing the opinion of the Commander in Chief, the G.O.C in Hong Kong & the Governor against the reduction, we cannot well press it.
