SECURE FAX FACILITY B4 DIVISION
I am
Further to our telephone conversation on 20 November, writing to confirm that B4 Division have an urgent requirement
for secure fax (not secure voice) links with the Hong Kong
Security Branch (based in Government House) and with the Hong Kong Department in the Foreign Office in London. Both of them wish to be able to send me classified material (most of it
"confidential") relating to two Orders in Council on British
nationality (Hong Kong) which we shall need to put before
Parliament next Spring. There could be quite frequent exchanges
between us.
I have been trying since July through B4's accommodation section to get the necessary equipment installed. The matter has become pressing now since we shall need possibly in the next few weeks to start sending papers back and forth in preparation for the
Orders. Given our distance from London and Croydon and the
delays involved in transmitting originals through the post or via
the van,
it would be ideal if we had a link also with Legal
Advisers and Private Office in Queen Anne's Gate and with the
Grade 3, Mr Rawsthorne, in Lunar House. Given our location in
Liverpool this would be useful as a general facility for B4
regardless of the Hong Kong requirement.
