TWO PLAYERS WHO WILL BE INFLUENTIAL IN THE AWARDING OF VERY MAJOR CONTRACTS FOR WHICH BRITISH FIRMS WILL BE BIDDING, WILL BE VISITING LONDON NEXT WEEK. I HOPE THEY CAN BE WELL RECEIVED. THE CONTRACT FOR FINANCIAL ADVISERS TO THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY HANGS BETWEEN TWO USA AND ONE BRITISH CONTENDER: THE PRESS REPORTS THE DECISION IS MOVING IN FAVOUR OF ONE OF THE

RICHARD ALLEN, CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY (PAA) WILL BE VISITING LONDON FROM 1 TO 8 FEBRUARY. JOHN YAXLEY, HONG KONG GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE IN LONDON, WILL BE ABREAST OF HIS PROGRAMME. ALLEN IS A KEY PLAYER IN MANY OF THE MAJOR CONTRACTS SHORTLY TO BE AWARDED EG THAT FOR THE PLATFORM WHICH IS CLOSE TO POUNDS 1 BILLION IN VALUE, OR THAT FOR THE TERMINAL DESIGN, VALUE APPROXIMATELY POUNDS 60 MILLION, AND THAT FOR FINANCIAL ADVISERS TO THE PROVISIONAL AIRPORT AUTHORITY (DETAILS BELOW). I HOPE VERY MUCH THAT HE CAN BE SEEN AT AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL. IT WILL DO MUCH TO ENCOURAGE HIM TO LOOK FAVOURABLY UPON BRITISH COMPANIES. A MINISTERIAL CALL WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE, PERHAPS MR.
