Dear Lord Caithness
I am a Hongkong newspaperman who was looking forward to putting some questions to you at your farewell press conference in Hongkong after your recent visit. I was surpriamo to find there was no such press conference, a departure from former visits by Ministers who have held your job. I would like to ask why.
It seems to me that if a Minister with Special Responsibility for Hongkong Affairs comes to Hongkong, spenda several days touring the Colony, apeake to a large number of officials and politicians and studiee our present situation, then he must surely have formed some opinions during his stay. I feel also that these opinions would be of great interest to Hongkong people.
So I would like to ask the following questions!
1. Why did you not hold a press conference at the end of your recent vieit.?
2. I understand you held a briefing for British reporters. Why did not Hongkong reporters get such a briefing"
3. Who selected the reporters to whom you spoke? (Did you or your staff invite British reportare to attend this briefing or was it the Hongkong Government who issued the invitatione? I work for outlets both in Hongkong and abroad and I was not invited so I am curious on what basle the journalists who attended were selected.)
4. The next time I dome to Britain. I would ike to come and seH you for an interview for my Hongkong outlet, the South China Morning Post for which I do three columns a week.
5. Any further amplification, explanation or information on the above topics would be appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes
Kevin Sinclair
