Question (in Chinese): We have remote courses. If I want to go to the public libraries and try and get some books for post-graduate courses it is extremely difficult; we have to go back to the Hong Kong U or to the Chinese U. However, I may not have access to these libraries and I have difficulties trying to get reference materials because I am on the distance learning.

Presenter: Governor, Miss Liu talked about libraries in Hong Kong. We can talk to the Governor ourselves. Governor may I put a question to you.

I put a question to you. In your policy address, in the last section you talked about how people are going surreptitiously to Beijing lobbying about Hong Kong Government's decisions. Now there were people who went to London lobbying, is it a really normal activity?

Governor: I don't think - and you would surprise me if you put the other point of view - I don't think that anybody who had gone to London while I have been Governor and had tried to get ministers in London to change or to block a decision taken by the Hong Kong Government would have got other than a very large flea in their ear. They would have been sent packing and they would have been asked to go and deal with the issue with the Hong Kong Government. It is very, very important to Hong Kong's autonomy that that should be the case today and that that should be the case in the future. And I am absolutely sure that whatever the present rather whipped-up controversy about this by the Xinhua News Agency, I am absolutely sure that my successor will feel as strongly about this issue as I do. And my successor may be in a rather stronger and better position to verbally wrap over the knuckles those who try to undermine his authority or her authority and that of the Hong Kong Government.

Question: Good morning Governor. I feel proud to talk with you. It is no doubt that you are the (inaudible) can get high degree governor on the present years.

Governor: You're too kind. Not everybody shares that view, as you know.

Question: On behalf of our special case and disease, because my parents have so many diseases in recent years as they are old. And another, I feel such as the mental illness patients, how could you guarantee they can get the treatment as well as now they are today? After 1997 can we get the same treatment as the illness treatment as the present time? Can you answer me please?

Governor: Yes. Can I first of all say that an earlier caller suggested that one reason for the increase in the costs of welfare was that some families weren't discharging their responsibilities to their relatives. You are one of the extremely brave and committed majority who do continue to look after relatives, elderly relatives, and I think all of us should commend you on that.
