When suitable Hong Kong personalities come to the UK, I wonder if it would be possible for them to be seen by a senior Minister occasionally, other than the Secretary of State (for the same reasons as above) and given a friendly chat?
(c) Perhaps a leading newspaper such as The Times could be induced to publish a really well-informed, fairly comprehensive and friendly leading article.
(a) If it is difficult for H.M. The Queen to come in 1968 to open Plover Cove, could Prince Charles be considered? A visit from the heir to the throne would mean a lot, and it would be an easy and pleasant duty for him to undertake.
(e) Could Princess Margaret be asked to pay a visit to our Pall Mall office and show-rooms; in the guise of a follow-up to her visit here, and as an expression of continuing interest in Hong Kong?
(f) Rather on the lines of (e), would there be any objection to my asking Princess Alexandra when she is here next February whether she would pay a visit to the students at Hong Kong House?
(g) We have a new and, I believe, very good, G.I.S. film just produced in the form of
a Chinese fairy-tale about this area - Nancy Kwan is in it, of the "Many Splendoured Thing" film. Would H.M. The Queen be likely to agree to ask to shew it privately at the Palace for the children? Or could some other rather special occasion for shewing it be devised? (I would like a chance to see it first before pursuing this one!)
