I wrote to you on 16 July, 1968 about the raising of
charges by H.M. Government against the Hong Kong Government
in respect of costs of various facilities, personnel, etc.,
which were provided by the Services in connection with the
1967 disturbances in the Colony. I believe that you have
since had discussions with the Deputy Command Secretary in
Hong Kong about this matter and am wondering whether you are
yet in a position to let us have a report on the outcome of
those discussions, I recall that when you were over here last September, you mentioned to me that, with the exception of certain minor items such as hospitalisation charges for
policemen, you thought that Hong Kong would be able to accept all the charges raised by the Services. Can you now confirm
this?
Te have had an enquiry from the Ministry of Defence on
the subject and it would be most relnful if you would let us know the present position.
