HONG KONG.
Sent 6th November, 1940. 19.00 hrs.
Immediate.
No. 646.
Press telegrams report official announcement in Hong Kong regarding evacuation scheme. I have accordingly considered it best to issue announcement here as follows. Begins. His Majesty's Government do not at present contemplate the need for further compulsory evacuation of British women and children from Hong Kong. There is no question of the return to the Colony of those already evacuated. Ends.
Any further publicity about the matter is undesirable as far as it can be avoided and in any себе would need careful wording. I shall be glad if you will consult me before any further official announcement is made in relation to it.
