MOD FORM MOA

(continuation sheet)

important for the report to state the lowest cost garrison that can be

recommended whether this be at or below the 835M level or between 35.

and £40M. AD of DP(C) is being briefed accordingly.

2.

AD of DP(C) will leave UK on 2 March as you recommend in

Reference B. But I fear DS1 (Jones) who has other pressing commituents

cannot readily be made available so

I would hope the DS1 task

could be accomplished if Jones left on 9 March to start work inmediately

if required and if carlier costing requirements can be met by the

costing of options now received in your Reference C and by exchange of

signals. We could undertake to deal overnight with queries until 7

March.

3.

FCO representative will be Jackson, Head of Defence Department.

His travel arrangements are not yet final but he is likely to travel

at about same time as Jones.

4.

We are working on the 5 options set out in your Reference C

so that AD of DP(C) will have authoritative view on their costings.

You will appreciate that at this stage he can convey no more than

initial Service Department reactions on the military aspects of the

options.
