asked the Secretary of State for Defence what logistical or other facilities are made available at Hong Kong-Kowloon to United States vessels, aircraft and combat units engaged in military operations in the South China Sea.

No logistical facilities are made available at Hong Kong-Kowloon to the United States armed services. United States ships and aircraft visit Hong Kong bringing personnel for purposes of recreation. The only facilities they receive are those normally available in any major port.
