SUBSEQUENTLY WE HAVE DISCUSSED WITH BB WHO ARE NOW
WORKING UP WITH CEGB PROPOSALS WHICH CLARIFY THEIR POSSIBLE
RESPECTIVE ROLES. THE AIM IS TO PRESENT PROPOSALS TO STONES
BEFORE HE LEAVES ON 28 JUNE.
5
COMMENT: STONES APPROACH WAS GENERALLY POSITIVE. HIS
CONCERNS SEEMED TO BE TO BOOST CLF'S PROJECT MANAGEMENT ROLE
THROUGH SECONDMENT OF CEGB STAFF AND TO RECEIVE A PACKAGE WHICH
HE COULD PRESENT TO HIS BOARD AS VISIBLY INCORPORATING SPECIAL
SUPPORT FROM HMG. THE PROBLEM OF COURSE IS HOW TO PAY FOR ANY
SERVICES WHICH MIGHT BE OFFERED FREE TO CLP. THE OPTION OF
SUPPORT UNDER THE INDUSTRY ACT, WHICH WAS USED ON PREVIOUS
CONTRACTS TO FUND BEI SERVICES, IS NOW UNLIKELY TO BE POSSIBLE.

WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED OF DEVELOPMENTS.
