Lisbon telegram No. 27 to Foreign Office paragraph 3.
Macao.
We think that there is no (repeat no) need to offer facilities for Portuguese soldiers. In practice, however, if they should arrive in Hong Kong without arms and as refugees, we might treat them as such and ask Portuguese Authorities to
arrange for their urgent onward movement.
2. Grateful for your comments.
