Action Taken

Mr

51,

HMS TAMAR

As agreed I spoke over the telephone to

Ji Shaoxiang of NCNA, this morning, about the article

in yesterday's Hongkong Standard. I said that I

assumed that he had not taken the article at face

value, but he might like to know from me that the

British Government was not including Tamar in its

current planning for a future Consulate-General.

Nor was the Hong Kong Government looking at Tamar

as a future police headquarters. As he would know,

however, the reference to redevelopment of the site

did have some foundation.

2.

Ji thanked me and said he would report to

his leaders.
