YOUR TELNO 2799: VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE: UK FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
1. WE WILL NEED TO REVERT TO THE TREASURY SOON IF WE ARE TO GET THEIR AGREEMENT FOR FURTHER FINANCIAL PROVISION FOR BOAT PEOPLE IN HONG KONG. THIS WILL NOT BE EASY: AS BEFORE, WE SHALL NEED TO ARGUE A CONVINCING CASE AND PROVIDE A DETAILED BREAKDOWN OF THE SUMS REQUIRED AND THE USES TO WHICH THEY WILL BE PUT. WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE GOVERNOR, WHO HAS AGREED THAT THE FIRST STAGE SHOULD BE PREPARATION OF A SHOPPING LIST COVERING AS MANY
AS POSSIBLE OF THE CONTINGENCIES FOR WHICH MONEY WILL BE REQUIRED OVER THE COMING MONTHS, AT LEAST UNTIL THERE IS SOME PROSPECT THAT FINANCE COMMITTEE WILL BE PREPARED TO VOTE FUNDS AGAIN. 2. GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD PREPARE SUCH A LIST ASAP, TO INCLUDE SUCH ITEMS AS THE NEW FACILITIES ON THE SOKOS.
