Dear Geraldi

på

Thank you for your letter of 21 April about the next Governor of Hong Kong.

Chris Patten has now agreed to fill this uniquely demanding position. The Prime Minister and I are

confident that he matches the criteria set out in the

second paragraph of your letter to a remarkable degree. I am delighted that he has agreed to become the next

Governor.
