Your letters of 11 May: PY TANG
1. We were most concerned to hear that Tang
thinks that a grant of up to £1 million for the
Polytechnic might be feasible. Although there
was some talk about matching contribution from
Hong Kong's resources if a further gr nt from
HMG could be approved Mr Royle made it abundantly
clear that he could give no assurance whatsoever
to Tans that it would be possible to provide
Tang assistance to Hong Kong in the way he had suggested.
2. Full account of Mr Royle's talk with Tang
will be in tomorrow's bag together with message
for Tang. We hope you will be able to avoid any
discussion about the defence contribution until
you have received this full account and been able
to explain the position to Tang.
