HONG KONG: FUTURE CONSULATE-GENERAL STEERING COMMITTEE NEXT MEETING 6 NOVEMBER

159

1. You have kindly agreed to chair a meeting of the Steering Committee which has been scheduled for 1500 on Friday, 6 November in the Indian Office Chamber. At this meeting the OED Design team will report on the current state of the design, following consultations in Hong Kong with Mr Day's Hong Kong Consultative Committee and subsequent discussions with the architects, Farrells. I attach the following documents;

A: an annotated Agenda

B: a copy of the visit report (including records of the

meetings in Hong Kong of 12 and 14 October)

and

C: a note by Alex Smith, OED, summarising the effects of these discussions on the schedule of requirements (SOR).

NB: The one proposal by the Consultative Committee which has not been incorporated in the proposed revisions, pending consideration at our meeting, is that for an additional 30 car parking spaces.

2.

We expect to receive early next week revised copies of the Preliminary Sketch Plans (PSPs) for the building and rough costings of an additional 30 car parking spaces. I will circulate these as soon as we have them.

3

I suggest that the Steering Committee be asked to:

(i) consider the Coordinating Committee's request for

an additional 30 car parking spaces;

(ii) endorse the proposed changes for incorporation into a revised SOR; and
