Thank you for your letter of 3 June, signed off by the Resident Clerk, about the response to the appeal to the Prime Minister by the Executive Council in Hong Kong for assistance over the serious problems created by the arrival of large numbers of Vietnamese boat people.
The Prime Minister has queried whether our proposed response is adequate and suggested that we ought to offer more financial assistance. You will need to consider urgently with the Treasury whether this can be agreed in the course of today so that the proposed statement by the Acting Governor to EXCO tomorrow can be amended. I should be grateful if you could keep me informed.
I am copying this letter to Carys Evans (Chief Secretary's Office) and Myles Wickstead (Overseas Development Administration).
