Jaudes 19/5

1. I have made arrangements for your three interviews on

17 May as follows:

1515

Lorna Wong, Sing Tao

1600

Sarah Helm, Independent

1645

Anthony Cheesewright, HK Standard.

2. With this sort of interview I think we have to relax the

rules a little. I suggest three basics which we can make

clear at the start:

(i)

On the record

(ii)

Personal record, achievements, history of

UK/China relations, hopes for future relations,

UK policy

Unattributable Background

Details of policy and the underlying thinking. Thoughts about the future including developments

within China.
