(e) Keswick is not too concerned about developments in LegCo, although he says that Zhou Nan, whom Sir C Powell has just seen, remains obsessed with the subject. According to Keswick, Allen Lee and Stephen Cheong are "Li Ka Shing's men" - their business and political activities are substantially supported by him - as is Ron Arculli, who is Li Ka Shing's solicitor. (These comments need to be seen against the background of Keswick's acute rivalry with Li Ka Shing.)
(f) Keswick knows the identity of Peter Heap's successor and the timing of the change (as do a surprisingly large number of people here). He believes that the manner of the appointment has been a source of irritation for the Governor.

Yours ever, Alan
