MR BLAKER'S VISIT TO HONG KONG

11/9,

INDEX

1. The DOI have asked us to provide Mr Blaker with the attached

defensive briefing on the possible sale of shares in Cable and

Wireless, in case the subject is raised during his visit to

Hong Kong. Unlike the other subjects on which we have provided

Mr Blaker with briefs, this is one where there is a potential

conflict between UK and Hong Kong interests, and the DOI are

reluctant for us to bring the Hong Kong Government fully into

the picture about what is happening.

We are not therefore

sending a copy of this brief to the Governor (though he will be

receiving copies of all the other briefs).
