glo-Chinese relations, undermine the Anglo-Chinese agreement of 1984 and

thereby cause a loss of confidence in Hong Kong itself. The Invest in

Britain Bureau (IBB) of the Department of Trade and Industry is, however,

prepared to respond to any inquiries it receives from Hong Kong

businessmen and their professional advisers about the conditions for

establishing a business in the UK. I think therefore it would be best

if the Director of the IBB, Mr Frank Wildman, were to arrange a meeting for

Mr Coppel together with representatives from the Home Office, Department

of Employment and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office at which all aspects

of his plans could be discussed. Perhaps Mr Coppel could therefore be

asked to contact Mr Wildman (212 3467) to arrange a mutually convenient

time. The address of the Invest in Britain Bureau is: Bridge Place,

88/89 Eccleston Square, London SW1V 1PT.
