HONG KONG ECONOMIC TIMES: REQUEST FOR INTERVIEW

1.

The Minister has seen Ms Everett's submission of 11 February. He has agreed the recommendation that the Secretary of State should decline to do an interview for the Hong Kong Economic Times and is content to give the interview himself. However, he has also commented "could we not suggest that to save them the effort of flying to London they fax the questions?"

2. If the Secretary of State is also content, I should be grateful if you could return the papers to News Department for processing.
