(D) SOKO. WE ARE NOT YET IN A POSITION TO PROVIDE YOU WITH DETAILS OF THIS PROJECT BUT WE SHALL DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
3. WE AGREE THAT THERE IS MERIT IN ARRANGING FOR YOU TO PAY A VISIT TO APPROPRIATE SITES DURING YOUR VISIT. WE ARE PLANNING A VISIT TO WHITEHEAD, WHERE THE SITE FOR STAGE 2(C) IS UNDER PREPARATION. THIS ELEMENT OF THE WHITEHEAD PROJECT WILL ACCOMMODATE ABOUT 9,000 PEOPLE (MUCH THE BIGGEST ELEMENT IN THE WHOLE WHITEHEAD PROJECT) AND WE BELIEVE IT TO BE A VERY SUITABLE PROJECT FOR HMG FUNDING. IN PR TERMS WHITEHEAD 2(C) WILL BE A CLEAR DEMONSTRATION OF HMG'S ASSISTANCE TO HONG KONG. WE ARE ALSO PLANNING THAT YOU SHOULD VISIT THE TENTED CAMP AT SEK KONG. WE ARE HOPING FOR A UK CONTRIBUTION TO COVER THE COST OF LOCALLY-PURCHASED TENTS: THE POINT NEEDS TO BE CLARIFIED BEFORE YOUR VISIT SO THAT SUITABLE USE CAN BE MADE OF HMG'S
CONTRIBUTION WITH THE PRESS.
4. ON AN IMPORTANT POINT OF DETAIL, WE HAD UNDERSTOOD THAT THE TOTAL VALUE OF THE ALLOCATION WAS TO BE POUNDS 4.5 MILLION. THIS WAS THE AMOUNT GIVEN IN THE STATEMENT RELEASED BY NO 10 AFTER MY MEETING WITH THE PRIME MINISTER ON 8 JUNE. THE FIGURES IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF TUR AMOUNT TO ONLY POUNDS 4.25 MILLION. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION THAT OUR UNDERSTANDING REMAINS CORRECT.
