SECRET
considerations and of the relative pros-
perity of Hong Kong we are under considerable
pressure here to ask you to increase your
offer of £8 million to bring it closer
to the cost of that element in the total
bill which could reasonably be regarded

largely be determined by what your
unofficial advisers will accept as a
charge on Hong Kong funds. We should be
grateful therefore for an assurance that
you are reasonably certain in your own
mind that £8 million is the absolute
maximum for which you can see any hope
of acceptance. If this is in fact the
case, then we will at least hope that you

can agree to the proposals in para.
