YOUR TELNO 4689: DEFENCE AND PUBLIC ORDER: RESERVED SITES /FOR BRITISH CONSULATE GENERAL.
1. WE WERE DISCONCERTED TO LEARN THAT PARTS OF THE VICTORIA BARRACKS SITE ARE AT PRESENT STILL OCCUPIED BY THE GARRISON. OUR UNDERSTANDING HAD BEEN THAT ALL THE VICTORIA BARRACKS SITE HAD REVERTED TO THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT. WE CAN FIND NO REFERENCE TO THE CONTINUED OCCUPATION OF PART OF THE VICTORIA BARRACKS SITE IN THE
MILITARY LAND PORTFOLIO WHICH WE HANDED TO THE CHINESE IN OCTOBER 1987. WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE POSITION. WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE THE CHINESE VIEW OF THE STATUS OF THE SITE?
