(Draft on

My telegram No.456.

Hong Kong University.

1. In paragraph 3(d) of my telegram under

reference it was stated that the precise

use to which H.M.G.'s free grant of £250,000

for the University is to be applied would be

the subject of further discussion between

the two Governments.

2. You should know that the Chancellor

of the Exchequer, while not seeking unduly

to dictate or limit the exact use to which

the money would be put, has expressed the

wish that this grant of £250,000 should be

used for the rehabilitation and development

of the University in addition to and not

>

(repeat not) in place of funds made available

by the Hong Kong Government itself. In this

connection, however you will note the'

54403/2/48) contents of my telegram No. 639 about the

informal proposal made here by Sloss for

assistance for the University from Central
