- I suspect that some of you may find it irksome to be confronted with yet another Foreign Office Minister with
special responsibility for Hong Kong. This is
understandable.
That is why I am determined to waste no
time in familiarising myself with all the issues and meeting
as many people as I can on this trip.
- My programme is a very full one. It includes, as always,
talks with the Governor and his Senior Officials and with
the Executive and Legislative Councils. I shall be meeting
people from all walks of life in the community. I shall be
visiting a Vietnamese boat people detention centre and
refugee camp, an industrial estate, a new town, a container
port and some of your social services institutions.
I will no doubt be seeing some of you on my travels over the next five days. In any event I look forward to seeing
you at my press conference next Thursday.
