31. After a general discussion within the Working Party, detailed examination of the reduced support organisation indicated areas where still further economies totalling £1.7m per annum could be made. These are described in Annex A and cover:
a.
b.
Further reductions in capital works (£0.5M)
Civilian utilisation of the BMH (£0.4M) (3)
C.
Reassessment of the requirement for hirings for married families (£0. 3M)
d.
Reductions in transport (£0. 3M)
e.
Miscellaneous (£0.3M)
32.
Incorporation of these further economies would reduce
the cost of the preferred garrison as follows:
£ M
Preferred garrison cost
plus Frigate refit
40.0
0.5
40.5
less further economies in support
1.7
Revised cost of preferred garrison
38.8
Rounded to
39.0 (4)
(3) This will depend on agreement being reached over the use of spare BMH capacity by Hong Kong Government.
(4) This total does not include any element for the transitional costs arising during the rundown of the garrison 1976/77, which are reserved for later financial discussions.
