Governor: You remember when you were asking me about what to expect of it in advance that I wasn't hugely optimistic that it would make great progress. I have been pleased by other developments in June particularly the agreements on the Court of Final Appeal made earlier and agreements on airport financing and the cargo franchises. But I didn't anticipate we got a great deal more in the JLG. I am sorry we didn't achieve more. I hope that the expert groups will manage to make more progress in the coming weeks and months, so that the next JLG will be able to report much more substantial progress. There were useful discussions but no great leaps forward. One or two useful things agreed not least in the localisation of laws area. But nothing very dramatic.
Question: You are saying that Chinese officials are trying to isolate you....
Governor: I don't recall saying that. I remember answering questions about that, not least from yourself. But I don't think I said anything particularly dramatic in that interview ...
Question: The Independent report said that you are isolated from Chinese officials they don't want to talk to you...
Governor: I did answer that question. Thanks very much indeed.
