TOP SECRET
LONG TERM STUDY: HONG KONG
A.
INTRODUCTION
Our terms of reference were to examine policy in respect of
Hong Kong in the long term, on the basis that we could not
rely on remaining in Hong Kong on present terms until the
lease of the New Territories lapsed and should therefore
consider what adaptations of its status might be possible
and desirable after the conclusion of the present conflict
in Vietnam. A separate interim report was prepared in
July, 1967 on the prospects for withdrawal from Hong Kong
if it were suddenly forced upon us.
