PRIME MINISTER'S VISIT TO HONG KONG: SEPTEMBER,1982
Thank you for your letter of 29 July which only reached me on
I am not at all happy with your rewrite because:

There is no mention of the unique way HMG and UK industry together presented a total package for the project.
See (TX)
220
There is little mention of the involvement of Lord Kadoorie and CLP, and Exxon do not even get a mention.
It is not being used to advertise the ability of UK industry.
When we started the draft we informally approached No: 10 and were told that they had no strong views on the length of the speech. Because our proposal for a short press conference at Castle Peak was rejected our only alternative is to make the points we believe essential by way of the speech.
As I see it therefore we should either revert to the speech as we drafted or agree a press conference at Castle. Peak.
Your
Au
ever
