You may wish to be aware that Mr Walker has
responded to the Secretary of State's minute, and
understand that Mr Channon will reply soon. Meanwhile, we
are considering with Department of Energy how UK and
Chinese nuclear safety experts can be brought together soon
(under the auspices of our bilateral nuclear cooperation agreement) to discuss a range of issues including safety at Daya Bay; and will be consulting within the office on possible ways of fitting an early visit to Hong Kong into
Mr Walker's visit programme for 1986, despite the
cancellation of his proposed visit to China.
