POSITION OF HONG KONG GOVERNMENT ON SAFETY

The Hong Kong Government will naturally wish to be satisfied that the highest safety standards are applied. Safety is one of the important aspects which is being examined under the feasibility study.

2. UK GOVERNMENT PERMISSION FOR UK INDUSTRY TO SUPPLY POWER

3.

NON-PROLIFERATION CONDITIONS

This would be a matter for discussion with the Government of the

People's Republic of China.
