ANNEX A to DP 9/68(C)
Directors Draft) Continued
COSTS
40. The costs of our proposals above those of the present
permanent garrison will be about £3.3 million in annual budge-
tary terms, of which £0.6 million is in addition to the provision
made in the calculations for long term costings for 1972/73 force
levels (the "Four Day" Costing Exercise). The extra foreign
exchange cost would be about £1.4 million. The detailed break-
down of costs, and manpower is shown at appendix. These figures
do not include the cost of any additional accommodation that may
be required. Nor do they include the costs of the three additional
MCMV)s or the five Hunter aircraft, which we suggest should be
met by the Hong Kong Government. The annual programme cost of
these units would amount to about £1M.
