I enclose the text of the announcement we will make at 11.00 a.m. tomorrow about the Governor of Hong Kong, together with the drafts of the statement by the Prime Minister which will be issued at the same time and of the Prime Minister's message to EXCO. The Prime Minister has not yet cleared the latter two drafts. I will let you know when he has.
