SEEKING A DISGUISED CREDIT DEAL WHEREBY THEY CAN OBTAIN BRITISH EQUIPMENT NOW TO ENABLE THEM TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF KADOORIE'S EVENTUAL PURCHASING REQUIREMENTS. I BELIEVE WE SHOULD START WITH TWO PRACTICAL PROJECTS SUCH AS COAL LOADING PLANT TO MATCH KESCO'S UNLOADING PLANT AT CASTLE PEAK AND COAL RAILWAY

WE SHALL NEED TO ENSURE A CO-ORDINATING ROLE FOR HMG WHILE LEAVING THE DETAILED TRADING CONTRACTS TO BE WORKED OUT BY NOMINATED INDIVIDUAL SUPPLIERS. YOU MAY ALSO SEE A ROLE FOR THE NATIONAL COAL BOARD, THE CEGB OR TRANSMARK IF THE CHINESE REACT POSITIVELY TO THE KIND OF PROJECTS
PUT FORWARD IN PARA 5 ABOVE.
