YOUR TELNOS 2791 AND 2792: DAYA BAY: EXCO VISIT TO LONDON
1.
WE HAVE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY WITH DEN AND DTI THE REVISED
LINE IN SECOND TUR FOR MINISTERS TO TAKE WITH EXCO AND HAVE
AGREED WITH THEM THE FURTHER REDRAFT IN MIFT.
2.
ALTHOUGH, AS YOU SAY IN SECOND TUR, SOME OF THE POINTS MADE IN THE DRAFT IN OUR TELNO 1835 MAY BE WELL KNOWN TO MEMBERS
OF EXCO, WE FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE RE-STATED BY MINISTERS ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT OCCASION AS THIS SINCE THEY REFLECT UK'S ·
NUCLEAR ENERGY POLICY AND FORM AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE LINE WE
FEEL MINISTERS WILL WISH TO TAKE.
3.
WE BELIEVE THAT WE CANNOT GO FURTHER THAN THE CONTENT AND
NATURE OF THE REASSURANCES CONTAINED IN THE RE-DRAFT IN MIFT.
BUT WE TRUST THAT THESE WILL DEMONSTRATE TO EXCO BOTH HMG'S
COMMITMENT TO DISCHARGING ITS RESPONSIBILITIES FOR HONG KONG AND
OUR BELIEF THAT ON THE BASIS OF WHAT WE KNOW OF THE PROJECT AND OF CHINESE ACTIONS AND INTENTIONS, THE PLANT SHOULD BE BUILT. 4.
WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COMMENTS DESKBY 0408302.
