ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK: CONTRIBUTION BY HONG KONG TO THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT FUND

1.

I should be grateful if you would each let me know as quickly as possible whether you are content with the attached draft reply to Hong Kong telegram no.158. I am grateful to Miss Bury for drawing my attention to the Asian Development Bank (Extension of Limit on Guarantees) Order 1986.

2. We do not have to supply the information about the general capital increase which is in the final paragraph of my draft; but I thought that it might be of interest to the Hong Kong Governor

3.

I presume that I am right in stating that Hong Kong is our only dependent territory which is also a member of the Asian Development Bank; but perhaps Miss Bury can confirm this.
