1. Fully understand Hong Kong's feelings about their British

connection.

2. Interested to hear that Lord Kadoorie was able to speak on

Hong Kong in House of Lords debate. Glad some arrangement on nomenclature has been made to meet Hong Kong's concerns. Sure Lord Kadoorie knows that HMG's commitment to the Territory

remains as strong as ever.
