Mr. Hall

Lord Shepherd suggested this morning that we sond a telegram to Hong
Kong expressing concern about the load that bomb incidents wore placing
on tho police and inviting thom not to be tardy about asking for any
bomb disposal assistance they might need from the Servicos, since it was
Lord Shophord's understanding that Singapore could help.

2. I do not think we can do this without embarrassment. Four bomb
disposal experts have already been flown in from Singapore, the Ministry
of Defence are proposing to bill the Hong Kong Government for movement
costs and to raise daily capitation charges. It is likely that Hong Kong
know about this through local channels. In the circumstances, I do not
think they would be amused by a telegram on the lines discussed.
