WE SHOULD WELCOME YOUR VIEWS.
4. PARAS 4 TO 5 OF THE DRAFT STATEMENT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED WITH THE DTI AND DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY. WE SHOULD PARTICULARLY WELCOME YOUR VIEWS ON THE LAST SENTENCE. WE DO NOT WANT TO CREATE THE IMPRESSION THAT THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS BRINGING UNDUE PRESSURE TO BEAR ON HONG KONG IN RELATION TO THE DAYA BAY PROJECT. BUT WE IMAGINE THAT YOU WOULD FIND IT A HELPFUL ELEMENT OF REASSURANCE
IF THE STATEMENT CONTAINED A CLEAR EXPRESSION OF THE BRITISH
GOVERNMENT'S VIEW.
5. PLEASE COULD WE HAVE COMMENT DESKBY 040900Z
