Mr. Hewitt said that the answer to paragraph 1 is
that a full brief was included in the Bag on Friday which should have reached Mr. Hall by now.
On Paragraph 2, Mr. Hewitt said he had spoken
to C.D. C. Financial Controller. The Tunnel Company
had approached their Hong Kong representative on the
basis of a £1.5m. loan but the London Board give
Hong Kong such a low priority for assistance that
they did not think it worth even going into details.
C.D.C. did not consult ODM although they are aware that ODM too give Hong Kong a low priority simply because there are a large number of territories less
able to help themselves than Hong Kong is. There is however a possibility that C.D.C. might be prepared to re-consider this proposition, but only on the
basis of the relatively small sum of £1.5m., if H.M.G.
think that political considerations require that this
project be given a higher priority.
