In my answer to your
Supplementary Question in the House
on 5 May about the proposed tunnel
in Hong Kong, I promised to take note
of what you said and get in touch
with the Board of Trade about it.
The position is that the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office has
responsibility for the actions of the
Hong Kong Government, whereas the
Board of Trade is responsible for
of your questionn singl
ECGD.
The phrasing made it
appropriate for the FCO to answer;
but a question on ECGD policy
should be referred to the Board of Trade. And, I understand that they
have already agreed to accept your
further Question for written reply on
9 May.
