Dear Audio, Деш

HONG KONG MASS TRANSIT SYSTEM

I enclose a draft minute to the Prime Minister from Sir Geoffrey Howe and a draft message from the Prime Minister to the Governor of Hong Kong which I would like to submit here. As you see, I have not pressed the case for a Section 8 grant but it might be useful to look at this one in some detail at the meeting this afternoon.
