These exemption arrangements for Hong

Kong-based staff serving the Hong Kong

Government in the UK and for UK-based

staff serving HMG in Hong Kong could not,

as we see it, be applied to officers serving under the exchange arrangements

we have in mind. It would be difficult

to argue that the Hong Kong officers in the FCO were serving Hong Kong or that

the Diplomatic Service officers in Hong Kong posts were serving HMG (for reasons indicated in (1) above it might in any case be considered undesirable to do so); and I cannot see our respective Inland Revenue authorities agreeing to

stretch their administrative discretion (in our case) or legislative provisions (in your case) to cover the situation we

are here considering.
