Following telegram from Clague to Lord Shepherd was
received in this office on 21 August:-
2.
Begins.
Can you possibly assist in obtaining helpful
decision from ECGD. on Tunnel. From UK point
of view eight million pounds additional British
exports together with invisible freight insurance
interest etc in balance. Hongkong already
absorbing one per cent UK exports which must
decline if confidence not restored quickly
by announcement long term economic projects
as explained by Rhodes. Politically believe joint UK economic support not (repeat not) aid
more than justified in mutual interests. In
view of importance as last resort do you recommend
personal approach Prime Minister.
Ends.
Would you please convey to Clague our apologies that,
in Lord Shepherd's absence, it has not been possible to
/send
