In addition, r Alan Lightbown, a Director of the HC KM Group,
travelled to Hong Kong from Bangkok and joined in the discussions.
As ir Lightbown visits Bangkok periodically, it was felt that
this would provide a helpful link in maintaining liaison and
affording introductions at a later stage.
Mr J K Blackwell, the United Kingdom Trade Commissioner in Hong
Kong, was responsible for making many of the arrangements for
our meetings out there. He also joined the Mission in most of
its discussions.

Purpose of Mission
The purpose of the Mission was to demons to the Hong Kong authorities the interest of British industry in the project and its
ability to carry it out, and that the United Kingdom financial
sector is in principle also prepared to play its part to the
extent to which it may be able.
It was accepted that as the Hong Kong authorities are awaiting a further report from the Consultants, the timing would be
premature for detailed engineering discussions. On the other
hand, it was felt that a high level Mission at this juncture
might reasonably be expected to pave the way for further
approaches after the Consultants' latest report has been
considered by the Legislative Council and published in Hong
Kong.
