TO IMMEDIATE BTC HONG KONG TELNO INDUS 127 OF 9 JUNE

TO MARCH FROM HAVELOCK, EPT, DC1.

FURTHER TO MY TELEX OF 31 MAY RE HKE. YOUR VIEW EXPRESSED IN YOUR

LETTER OF 19 DECEMBER 1977 WAS THAT HKE WOULD NOT GET A SITE. THIS WAS ALSO THE VIEW OF THE GOVERNOR WHICH HE EXPRESSED TO SIR PETER CAREY IN NOVEMBER, 1977. AS A RESULT WE PASSED THIS INFORMATION TO THE COMPANIES INCLUDING CA PARSONS.

WE NOW FIND CURSELVES IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION, FIRST BECASUE THE ADVICE HAS BEEN PROVED INCORRECT AND SECOND, BECAUSE PARSONS HEARD OF THE APPROVAL THE.ISELVES AND TOLD ME. THE POINT IS SELO HADE

THAT IF YE HAD NOT ALL ACCEPTED THAT THE ROVER STATION WOULD NOT

GO AHEAD THEN MORE WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO SECURE THE ORDER FOR

THE UK.

I SHOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE AND COMMENT ON ALL THE

ASPECTS.
