CONFIDENTIAL
We agree that the spreading of untrue rumours can damage UK interests. We cannot censor the tap-room gossip to which visitors may sometimes be exposed, but we shall redouble our efforts to ensure that British Ministers visiting Hong Kong are fully aware both of British interests in the airport projects and the need to be sensitive to Hong Kong's autonomous position and open and fair tendering system.
