As you know, Sir Y.K. Pao called on the Prime Minister this morning. He was accompanied by his son-in-law, Mr. Sohmen.

There is only one point which came up during the discussion which is worth recording. The Prime Minister said that she might be planning a trip to China in 1982; if this visit came off, she would of course visit Hong Kong as well. Sir Y.K. said that he very much welcomed this. He also mentioned that his company were building a ship in a Chinese shipyard, and he would very much welcome it if the Prime Minister could "name it". The Prime Minister said that she would bear this in mind.
