(iv) AIRPORT

Some positive signs. If Chinese suggest increased equity injection of say HK$5-10 billion, could HKG accommodate this?

Will be seeing LegCo on 1 June. What do you suggest I say to them on the airport financing package?

- Do you anticipate any difficulties in securing continual

funding from LegCo for the Provisional Airport Authority.

(v) COURT OF FINAL APPEAL

We have on your advice put on hold the possibility of finding UK judges for the Court of Appeal, who might eventually go onto the Court of Final Appeal. However, would be happy to reactivate this at any time if necessary.

Any views yet on how to handle the Court of Final Appeal

problem, ie when to introduce draft legislation into LegCo?
