HONG KONG 16 JAN 90
FOREIGY SECRETARY:
Yes, I do know of that disappointment and I an very sorry and
apologise to them. I know also that if I had been here for three
weeks instead of three days, I would not have actually been able to
see everybody who would have wished to express opinions to me on
those matters which you mention.
I asked my Parliamentary Private Secretary, Tim Yeo, if he
would be good enough to receive yesterday afternoon groups who
wanted to make points of that kind while I was attending one
district board, while I was listening to public servants, and he did
that and he has reported to me on their representations.
I have also received quite a large number of letters,
including from Vietnamese boat people, and of course, we will take
those into account as wall.
I have done my best and we have done our best as a team to
meet and listen to as many people as we could during this time and I
apologise to those whom I have not been able to meet or listen to
personally.
