Thank you for your letter of 28 May to the Prime Minister about the appointment of Mr Patten as the new Governor of Hong Kong.

The Prime Minister is grateful for your kind words about Mr Patten. The Government attach great importance to maintaining effective British administration in Hong Kong until 1997 and to ensuring a smooth transition.

We have passed a copy of your letter to Mr Patten so that he is aware of your kind offer to put your father-in-law, Mr Fell, in touch with Mr Patten.
