WORK WILL BE DONE AND BRITAIN WILL EARN A RETURN ON ITS INVESTMENT.
19. WE ARE POURING MONEY INTO THE ALBANY FLAT TO LITTLE EFFECT. THE SOONER WE REACH A LONG-TERM SOLUTION THE SOONER WE WILL STAUNCH THAT FLOW. IF THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT CAN PROVIDE A SUITABLE HOUSE (AND IT CAN BE QUITE MODEST) SO MUCH THE BETTER, BUT IF NOT I RECOMMEND WE SCRAP THE THEATRE AND PUT THE MONEY TO A BETTER CAUSE.
20. I HAVE NOT CLEARED THE TEXT OF THIS TELEGRAM BUT BELIEVE IT TO BE BROADLY CONSISTENT WITH THE VIEWS OF THE EXPERTS. SENT TELEGRAPHICALLY, TO MEET THE DEADLINE FOR YOUR MEETING ON 9 JUNE.
