Sir Anthony Royle (Richmond): To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether, in addition to the obligations of Her Majesty's Government, and the availability of the South Atlantic Fund referred to in his Answer of 24 June to the honourable Member for Richmond. he will request the Governor of Hong Kong to launch a fund supported by both the Hong Kong Government and the public to provide extra financial support for those families bereaved by the death of Hong Kong sailors and servicement killed fighting for the United Kingdom in the Falklands war.

No. Such a request would be appropriate.

People in Hong Kong

are already aware that contributions may be directed to the

South Atlantic Fund which of course covers Hong Kong personnel

valuable

in the Task Force, who made such a/contribution to the success

of the operation.

Jespite tragic losses) I do no
