Dear Mr Coles
MINISTER'S
PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT TO HONG KONG: CASTLE PEAK
On 29 July you sent John Rhodes at the Department of Trade a letter to the Prime Minister from Mr Gavin Laird, General Secretary Elect of the AUEW, in which he suggests that the Prime Minister might visit the Castle Peak power station while she is in Hong Kong.
I now attach a draft reply and I am sorry for the delay in replying. I understand that, although a formal announcement of the Prime Minister's visit has not yet been made, her visit to Hong Kong is public knowledge and the Foreign Office has no objection to a reference to it in the correspondence.
I am copying this to Francis Richards (FCO), John Rhodes (Trade) and Barnaby Shaw (Employment).
yours
ме
MRS E A RILEY
PRIVATE SECRETARY
