1 I WOULD BE HAPPY TO DISCUSS THE ADDITIONAL SUBJECTS WITH LORD CAITHNESS. BUT I WAS NOT PROPOSING TO RAISE THE PUBLIC ORDER ORDINANCE MYSELF NOW, AS WE HAVE AGREED, AT YOUR INSISTENCE, TO DEFER INTRODUCING THE AMENDING LEGISLATION UNTIL THE NEW LEGCO
SESSION.
2. I WOULD OF COURSE BE PREPARED TO DISCUSS WITH OFFICIALS THE QUESTION OF TELEVISION FRANCHISES IF YOU PARTICULARLY WISH TO DO SO. YOU WILL HAVE SEEN THE RATIONALE FOR IMPOSING A RESTRICTION ON BROADCASTING IN CANTONESE IN THE LICENCE GRANTED TO HUTCH
VISION IN THE EXCO PAPER DISCUSSED ON 30 OCTOBER 1990.
