IMPLICATIONS OF HONG KONG'S ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL POSITION
Martin Stanley has passed to me his copy of your minute of the 4th March.
2. So far as concerns Harland & Woolf, we do not believe that there will be any major effect. The company is in fact only building one bulk carrier for the Swire group. Of the other vessels a number may be built but the buyer will be the Harland & Woolf group itself. So far as concerns the vessel for the Swire group, our understanding is that this is a very large and prosperous company and we do not believe that there will be any major effect.
