TELEGRAM NUMBER CREDA 12 OF 12 JANUARY-

YOUR CREDA 2: KOWLOON CANTON RAILWAY.

1. I UNDERSTAND THAT THE RAILWAY GAZETTE HAS LEARNED ABOUT

METCAM'S SUCCESS FROM SOURCES IN THE UK. THE NEWS HAS STILL NOT

BROKEN HERE BUT I HAVE AGREED WITH THE SECRETARY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THAT IF ASKED WHETHER A DECISION HAS BEEN TAKEN

WE SHOULD SAY THAT THE HONG KONG YWD HAVE INFORMED METCAM THAT

THEY INTEND TO DISCUSS A CONTRACT FOR THE SUPPLY OF ELECTRICAL MULTIPLE UNITS. I HAVE SUGGESTED TO SANSOME THAT MECAM SHOULD TAKE THE SAME LINE.

MARCH

NNNN
