You will recall the discussion at the Ministerial
Meeting on Hong Kong held on 22 September, of Hong
Kong's request that our overseas posts should supply
information to the recently established Hong Kong
Export Credit Guarantee Corporation. It was agreed
that I should discuss the proposal further during my
visit to Hong Kong in October, with a view to finding
out more about their requirements so that it might be
determined how far it was practicable and desirable to
meet them.

During my discussion of this matter with the
Hong Kong authorities, they made the following points:
(i) All the Export Credit Insurance Corporation's
capital has been subscribed by the Government
which also guarantees the liabilities assumed
so that considerable sums of public money are
at risk.
(ii) While the Corporation and Government appreciate
that British overseas posts cannot be expected
to undertake special assignments as for
E.C.G.D. (such as the provision of credit
information on individual buyers), the
Corporation's work would be greatly
overinas, ostes could copy
