PERSONNEL FOR PAUL HKD, FROM GOVERNOR
MIPT AND YRTELNO 1994: LORD CAITHNESS' LUNCH WITH SIR ADRIAN SWIRE: 13 NOVEMBER
1. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE IN MIND TO BRIEF LORD CAITHNESS TO RAISE WITH SIR A. SWIRE. LIKE HIS BROTHER HE IS A LEVEL-HEADED MAN WHO DOES A GREAT DEAL FOR HONG KONG IN ADDITION TO RUNNING A VERY SUCCESSFUL FIRM. IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING IF THE MINISTER WERE TO ASK HIM, BOTH AS HEAD OF SWIRES AND VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE HONG KONG ASSOCIATION, WHAT VIEW HE TAKES OF VARIOUS CRITICISMS THAT HENRY KESWICK HAS BEEN MAKING ABOUT THE HKG.
2. I AM HAVING LUNCH MYSELF WITH THE SWIRE BROTHERS ON 7 NOVEMBER. I SHALL TELEGRAPH FURTHER IS ANYTHING PARTICULAR ARISES.
