Points of Concern for HMG

5.30.

The role of UK DTP surveyors who carry out

Ατ

work on Hong Kong's behalf in Europe will need to be

clarified. We would greatly welcome their continued

support once the new register has been established.

present DTP is regularly requested to survey Hong Kong

ships in UK and Europe. With its existing establishment

of surveyors Hong Kong could not cope with this work

without support. It is possible, however, DTP might not

wish to continue to provide it.

5.31.

We were told in March by the DTP that the

criteria for recognising additional classification

societies was:-

(a) were they good enough; and

(b) would there be reciprocal rights for

Lloyds.

If Hong Kong were to extend its recognition before 1997,

HMG might come under pressure from Lloyds to seek

reciprocity.
