FOR OT2 AND PEP

136,

OUR TELNO INDUS 29: DAYA BAY

1. PARAGRAPH 9 OF TUR REFERS TO THE VISIT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE

GUANGDONG NUCLEAR POWER JOINT VENTURE COMPANY TO LONDON IN JUNE. I KNOW THAT THE DTI ARE AWARE OF THIS VISIT AND OF ITS IMPORTANCE. NEVERTHELESS I WOULD LIKE TO UNDERLINE THE REQUEST THAT WANG QUAN

GUO BE LOOKED AFTER WELL WHEN IN THE UK. THIS BOTH BECAUSE OF THE INTRINSIC IMPORTANCE OF THE DAYA BAY PROJECT, IN ITS OWN RIGHT AND BECAUSE OF OTHER POTENTIAL SIMILAR PROJECTS, AND BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT DIFFICULTIES WITH GEC AND CLEVELAND BRIDGE AT THE SITE.

SIR JACK CATER AND STONES OF CHINA LIGHT AND POWER ARE CONVINCED

THAT WANG QUAN GUO AND HIS PARTY WILL BE GIVEN FULL RED CARPET TREATMENT IN FRANCE IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THEIR VISIT TO THE UK, AND ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS SHOULD BE MATCHED IN THE UK. A CALL ON A DTI MINISTER, AND IF AT ALL POSSIBLE ON LORD YOUNG, WOULD SEEM FULLY

JUSTIFIED.
