C Mr Kenneth Clarke (Rushcliffe): To ask the Secretary of

State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what proportion of the value of contracts so far awarded for construction of the Hong Kong Main Railway has been won by British firms.

No 13W

MR DAVID ENNALS

I assume the Question refers to the modified initial system of the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway. Although some tenders have been invited for this project and others will shortly be called, it will probably take until the early autumn for bids to be appraised.
