:

Now that I have returned to London, would like to thank you for your hospitality to my wife, myself and my party on 30 March, during our brief visit to

Hong Kong.

I was most interested to see the power station site, and it was a most happy coincidence that we were able to make the public announcement about the Castle Peak B contract on the same day. This has given a tremendous boost to the efforts which British engineering companies are making in the Far East and elsewhere. hope that it is a portent of things to come in China. would like to take this opportunity of thanking you for the role which you personally have played in this matter.

I

We greatly appreciated the buffet lunch which you gave for us. This made a pleasant and relaxed start to our programme in Hong Kong. And it was of course a great pleasure to see you and Lady Kadoorie

-

one which

I hope we can repeat in London in the not too distant

future.
