BY BROOKS, GIVEN TO HIM BY CLP, FOR URGENT CHECKING WHETHER LIKE IS IN FACT BEING COMPARED WITH LIKE (OR WHETHER, EG, AMOUNT OF TRUNKING HAS BEEN BADLY UNDERESTIMATED). PEARSON IS DUE TO TAKE

COMMENTS BACK TO CLP FOR 16 OCTOBER. THE BALL (IN TERMS OF GETTING THE VO ISSUED) IS THEREFORE IN THE UK'S COURT.

8. BROOKS HAS APPARENTLY INDICATED THAT SINCE THE UK IS HOLDING TO THE DELIVERY DATES CLP WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO DENY THEM THE BASIC (FOUR BAY) SCOPE OF SUPPLY. NONETHELESS THE POSSIBILITY OF CLP BRINGING IN FOREIGN EQUIPMENT FOR THE EXTRA SCOPE IS CLEARLY BEING

CONTEMPLATED. ITS POSSIBLE EFFECTS ON THE TRANSMISSION PROJECT NEED NO UNDERLINING TO ANY OF THE PARTIES.
