You wrote to me on 5 February

about the further letter which

Lieutenant Commander Lynch Maydon sent

to the Prime Minister about the title

of the Hong Kong Police.

I am at last, happy to be able to

some report progress. Yesterday We sent

dave

a submission to the Palace asking if

Her Majesty's wishes on the following

proposals could be informally

ascertained:

(a) that the Hong Kong Police

and auxiliary Police Forces

should be accorded the

prefix "Royal" in their

titles. This was coupled

with the proposal

(b) that a member of the Royal

Family should be approached

to accept the appointment

in an honorary capacity of

"Commandant General" of

the two Forces.
