REGISTRY Action n
A 1. Mr Mortimer's letter of 7 July seeks the Secretary of State's
agreement to Mr Parkinson visiting Hong Kong from 31 August to
7 September.
Recommendation,
2.
I recommend that the Secretary of State agrees to this.
Draft attached.
Background
3. This proposal originated with the Hong Kong Government.
The idea is largely to encourage British manufacturers of
textile fabrics to sell more to Hong Kong where the garment
industry is growing and where there are considerable opportunities.
A visit by Mr Parkinson in early September would to some extent
counter an American textile exhibition which is to take place in
Hong Kong later in the month.
