| Abstract | Chris Patten has once again been accused of exploiting his position as governor of Hong Kong in order to intervene in British politics. In October 1996, the governor threw himself into United Kingdom politics for a second time when he gave a high-profile interview in which he called for the scrapping of quarantine laws aimed at keeping the killer disease rabies out of Britian. His outburst followed the revelation that British agriculture minister Douglas Hogg had proposed a review of the world's tougest rabies controls, in force since 1901. |
