In paragraph 7 of Sir Derek Reffell's letter to you of 1 December, he mentions the issue of the Governor's exemption from tax. You may like to know that we did some quick research on this subject as Christopher Patten is in a similar situation in Hong Kong as he does not pay either UK or local salary tax. The results of this research are set out in the attached letter to Mr Dinham.
