I asked the Chancellor's Office to hold onto the draft reply to
the Heseltine letter. I think we have a better chance of not
provoking further rounds of correspondence if we make the final
paragraph rather more fulsome eg:
2.
"Of course direct investment is only one aspect of UK assets in Hong Kong. I am in no doubt that there are very large
assets in Hong Kong owned, managed or controlled by UK firms
and individuals, and that the total magnitude of UK involvement in Hong Kong is a great deal larger than
£2 billion
-
even though it is not possible to be precise".
I would be grateful if you would incorporate this in a
revised version of the draft letter for the Chancellor.
