[Is it true that you turned down two jobs as a Special Adviser

to come to Hong Kong?]

I can't comment on that. That's not strictly accurate.

[What made you decide to come to Họng Kong?]

Coming to Hong Kong is an excellent opportunity which I much look

forward to.

[Have you been to Hong Kong before?]

No, I haven't been to Hong Kong before, but I very much look

forward to coming and clearly I have a lot to learn.

[You briefed the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs issues during

the election campaign, including on Hong Kong?]

I briefed the Prime

Minister during the General Election

campaign, not just on foreign affairs issues, but on the daily

political issues as we went round the country. In fact, I mean,

as you know during the General Election campaign, more parochial

issues tend to come to the fore.
