PERSONAL FOR GOVERNOR FROM PAUL, HKD
YOUR TELNO 3208: PADS: PROSPECTS FOR BRITISH COMPANIES
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELPFUL COMMENTS, WHICH HAVE BEEN TAKEN ON BOARD AND INCORPORATED IN THE TEXT IN OUR TELNO 2121.
1.
2. THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS SEEN THE DRAFT, AND WE HAVE HAD A BRIEF WORD WITH HIM ABOUT IT. HE DOES NOT THINK IT WILL QUITE DO THE TRICK AND HAS ASKED FOR FURTHER WORK TO BE DONE ON IT. IN PARTICULAR, HE HAS ASKED THAT USE SHOULD BE MADE OF THE LIST OF CONTRACTS ALREADY WON (WHICH WE HAVE SHOWN HIM) TO DEMONSTRATE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THAT BRITISH COMPANIES HAVE ALREADY SUCCEEDED IN SECURING A GOOD SHARE OF THE CONTRACTS.
3. RICHARD HOARE KINDLY FAXED A COPY OF THIS LIST TO ME FOLLOWING OUR MEETING AT GATWICK LAST MONTH. WE PROPOSE TO ENCLOSE THE LIST WITH THE LETTER TO NO 10, BUT IN DOING SO WOULD LIKE TO ADD THE VALUE OF EACH CONTRACT AWARDED, SO AS TO GIVE AN INDICATION OF THEIR RELATIVE IMPORTANCE.
4.
I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL, THEREFORE, IF YOU COULD ARRANGE FOR THE LIST TO BE ANNOTATED ACCORDINGLY, TOGETHER WITH DETAILS OF THE 'NATIONALITY' OF THE COMPANY IF THIS IS NOT ALREADY CLEAR, AND, IF POSSIBLE, UPDATED TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF ANY CONTRACTS AWARDED SINCE SEPTEMBER.
