Rundown of the Garrison
We have briefed the Chinese authorities on our provisional planning for the phased and gradual withdrawal of the British garrison. I should emphasise that no firm decisions on withdrawals have been made. The Chinese Government have expressed their understanding of our provisional plans. Our overriding concern will be to safeguard Hong Kong's security and stability right up to 1997.
