Both HMG and the Hong Kong Government have given a high priority to pursuing this case through the courts, not least in order to promote public confidence in Hong Kong's administration of justice, and to bolster business confidence

in the system. We are still working hard to secure the

extradition of Saniman from France with the same end in view.

We would like to be reassured that Hong Kong spokesmen are pulling in the same direction, rather than allowing Osman's apologists to drive wedges between Hong Kong and London.

press reports which goes beyond what we have asked for in

our most recent telegram.

Your even John
