2. PETER HEAP MADE THE POINT TO CS THAT PRE-EMPTIVE BIDS HAD BEEN MADE FOR BOTH THE EASTERN HARBOUR CROSSING AND TATE'S CAIRN TUNNEL. ALTHOUGH BOTH HAD BEEN SET ASIDE, THE BIDDERS HAD SECURED THE CONTRACTS. THIS WAS ENCOURAGING AJC TO GO AHEAD WITH THEIR PRE-EMPTIVE BID. THIS IS OF COURSE A MATTER FOR THEIR JUDGEMENT. IF THEY WISH TO PROCEED WITH THE BID, WE CANNOT OF COURSE STOP THEM.
3 I MUST CONFESS THAT I DO NOT SEE HOW, EVEN ON THE FACE OF IT, THIS EPISODE CAN BE CONSTRUED AS A POSSIBLE EXAMPLE OF HKG TILTING THE PLAYING FIELD IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.
WAS INTENDED TO BE HELPFUL TO AJC.
