B. EXPORT PROMOTION DEPT

I spoke with Gray and ,briefly, to Willson. DTI are handling things for them as far as Hong Kong is concerned.

Ken rice said that CRE are doing the following

briefs:

He emphasized that (with the exception of c) all these would be short, particulary the last. The paper on the Trade Commission he said would be of interest to you, as it will brief Mr. Bottomley on the allegations of the Trade Commission that the Hong Kong Government is indifferent to British trade interests.
