Although Hong
Kong Link is not a prominent organisation in UK or Hong Kong terms, I believe that it
would be advantageous if Mr Renton, rather than officials,
were to reply to their letter the Secretary of State's
behalf.
This would avoid any accusation, however unwarranted, on the part of the anti-Daya Bay lobby in Hong Kong that, now that EXCO had visited London and the Daya Bay contracts had been signed, HMG had lost interest in
Hong Kong's concerns over the issue.
