SIR EDWARD TO VISIT NANKING

* * *

THE GOVERNOR, SIR EDWARD YOUDE, TOLD REPORTERS TODAY (SATURDAY) THAT HE HAD BEEN INVITED TO GO TO NANKING.

+WE HAVEN'T FIXED THE DATE OR THE ARRANGEMENTS YET.

I EXPECT IT WILL BE SOME TIME IN THE SUMMER, BUT NOT TOO LATE FOR IT WILL GET RATHER HOT, HE SAID.

1 AM LOOKING FORWARD TO GO. I SPENT QUITE A FEW YEARS THERE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.

+ I HOPE TO HAVE A GOOD LOOK AROUND. IT IS SOME YEARS SINCE I WAS THERE AND I KNOW THE CITY QUITE WELL, HE SAID.

SIR EDWARD WAS SPEAKING TO REPORTERS AFTER VISITING THE CIVIL AID SERVICES CAMP IN YUEN TUN, TSING LUNG TAU, THIS MORNING.

ON THE ROLE OF THE CIVIL AID SERVICES IN THE FUTURE SPECIAL ADMINISTRATIVE REGION GOVERNMENT, THE GOVERNOR SAID THEY WOULD HAVE A CONTINUING ROLE AS AN AID TO THE CIVIL SERVICE'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EMERGENCY RESCUE, FOR CROWD CONTROL, AND ALSO FOR THE GENERAL TRAINING OF YOUNG PEOPLE.

+ IN FACT I THINK THERE ARE QUITE A NUMBER OF COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD WHO WOULD LIKE TO LEARN FROM HONG KONG AND FROM THE WAY IT IS DONE HERE. IT IS VERY IMPRESSIVE, HE ADDED.

IN REPLY TO A QUESTION ON HOW THE GOVERNMENT VIEWED THE EMPLOYMENT OF A FORMER TOP OFFICIAL, SIR JACK CATER, BY THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT, SIR EDWARD SAID, +SIR JACK IS NOW IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR, AND HE IS FREE, OF COURSE, TO ACCEPT JOBS LIKE THAT. AND AM SURE THAT THEY CONSIDER HIM A GOOD MAN OR THEY WOULDN'T HAVE INVITED HIM TO DO IT.+
