Q:
A:
Prime Minister's job. The Foreign Secretary and I keep him in touch. We have regular meetings with him because
he being Prime Minister is the Chief Executive of the - government and he knows what is going on in each
department which is of major concern. Now the discussions that we have been having are of major concern and it is quite right that he should be au fait with what is going on.
}
Sure fully au fait is one thing, getting personally involved is something else. Because people are talking about the Prime Minister actually having written to DeAS Xiaolins regarding the airport project.
Is that right?
-
I am not going to comment on that. Certainly we are in
touch with the leaders in China. Certainly the
Prime Minister is most involved and because he is the
sort of person that goes into politics of course he has got strong views, we certainly wouldn't expect him not to. And so did our previous Prime Minister. We welcome
that.
