TOP SECRET
COLONIAL SECRETARY
May I refer to your minute of 23rd May about the
proposal to station two extra units in Hong Kong in
addition to the long-term garrison of six units already
agreed.
The settlement now proposed, as described in
paragraph 2 of your minute, is acceptable to me, and I
shall be ready to report in that sense to the Defence
Committee in due course. Meanwhile I should have no
objection to the arrangements for the move of the
additional units being put in hand at once.
Like the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for
War, I must of course reserve my position on the question
of compensation for Service Department lands in
Hong Kong.
I am sending copies of this minute to the
Minister of Defence and the Secretary of State for War.
6th June, 1958
