INFO D.0.1 (FOR HAVELOCK), SINGAPORE, KUALA LUMPUR, COLOMBO,
JAKARTA, MANILA, BANGKOK, SEOUL.
FOR COCHLIN (FPB) AND PRISTON (CRE4).
YOUR ESBOT 400 TO SINGAPORE : BEAMA SEMINAR IN SINGAPORE.
1. WE WELCOME THE PROPOSAL TO PROMOTE BRITISH TECHNOLOGY IN- THE FIELD OF POWER GENERATION AND TRANSMISSION BY MEANS OF
WE WOULD A MAJOR SEMINAR IN SINGAPORE IN NOVEMBER, 1979. CERTAINLY EXPECT DELEGATES FROM HONG KONG'S TWO POWER GENERATING COMPANIES, CHINA LIGHT AND POWER (CLP) AND HONG
KONG ELECTRIC, TO ATTEND.
2. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO REFERENCE IN YOUR TELEGRAM MADE TO THE WORK WHICH HAS BEEN DONE BY THE D.0.1'S EPT DIVISION AND WHICH HAS LED TO THE CONCLUSION OF SUCCESSFUL CONTRACTS WITH CLP BY MEANS OF A PACKAGE APPROACH. IT SEEMS TO ME ESSENTIAL THAT THE BEAMA INITIATIVE SHOULD BE CO-ORDINATED WITH JOHN LIPPITT'S DIVISION IN THE D.0.1 IN ORDER TO ENSURE
THAT LESSONS GAINED FROM THE HONG KONG NEGOTIATIONS ARE APPLIED TO PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES IN THIS SECTOR IN THE
REST OF THE REGION
