There have been comments that the people of Hong Kong

should be consulted by you in the appointment of our next

Governor. What are your views on this?

ANSWER:

It is not the normal practice to consult any particular

persons or communities before advice is tendered to

Her Majesty on the appointment of Governors. The advice

is my personal responsibility but, in exercising it, I of

course give due consideration to any representations I may

receive.
