Hong Kong : The Garrison

55

Thank you for your submission of 6 Máy. The Secretary of State agrees with your recommendation that we should aim to put a joint FCO/MOD paper to OPD(K) considering the pros and cons of an early run down of the Garrison in Hong Kong. As you suggest, this will need to be cleared with the Governor before circulation to OPD(K) members.
