PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM HUM,
HKD
MR LI KA–SHING
1.
WE HAVE BEEN ASKED BY NO 10 WHETHER WE KNOW OF ANY REASON
WHY AN INVITATION SHOULD NOT BE EXTENDED TO LI KA-SHING AND SIMON
MURRAY TO ATTEND A LUNCH FOR INDUSTRIALISTS, GIVEN BY THE PRIME
MINISTER ON 29 OCTOBER.
2.
WE FEEL THAT NO 10 SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE RECENT INSIDER
DEALING TRIBUNAL REPORT ON LI AND HIS PRESENT ATTEMPTS TO
OBTAIN A JUDICIAL REVIEW. BUT SUBJECT TO YOUR VIEWS WE ARE
NOT/NOT INCLINED TO ADVISE THEM THAT THE INVITATION SHOULD BE
WITHHELD ON THAT ACCOUNT. LI IS AFTER ALL ONE OF HONG KONG'S
MOST PROMINENT BUSINESSMEN. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF ANYTHING
AGAINST MURRAY.
3.
WE HAVE TO REPLY TO NO 10 ON 3 OCTOBER. WE SHOULD
BE GRATEFUL THEREFORE FOR YOUR VIEWS DESKBY 020930Z.
