Asked if he empathised with those who wished to boycott the event, the PMS replied that the Prime Minister thought that one of the virtues of living in a free society was that people were able to express views of that kind.

Asked if the Prime Minister thought it was a shame that Chinese and Tibetans didn’t share the same right, the PMS said that the British Government position in relation to Tibet was well established and unchanged.
