FUTURE OF THE BBC TRANSMITTER IN HONG KONG

1. Mr Goodlad has seen your submission of 3 September on this subject and has commented "I am not happy with this approach and would like a meeting after ascertaining the Governor's views."

2.

At the time of your submission, the Minister had not seen attached Hong Kong Telno 1425, in which the Governor asked about the

BBC's intentions. I understand from our telephone

now

Done

conversation today that the BBC have been consulted and that they prefer the soft option.

3.

Mr Goodlad is due to speak to the Governor on the secure line at 10:30 am on Thursday, 9 September. Perhaps you would prepare an up-to-date position for inclusion with the checklist of points the Minister might raise with the Governor.
