SECRETARY OF STATE
Ministerial Visits during October
The
In considering this proposal you will wish, as
indicated in Miss Deas' minute of 28 July, to know the
planned movements of other Ministers during October.
first immovable fixture is the Party Conference from 7-10
October, which presumably will take you and Mr. Rippon to
Blackpool. Apart from this Mr. Godber is to be away from
London from 1-14 October for the Fiji Independence Celebrations.
Mr. Rippon will no doubt wish to visit some of his European
colleagues in the early part of the month, before the meeting
with the E.E.C. in Luxembourg on 16/17 October. Lord Lothian
has plans to visit West Africa from 23-30 October, and you
may decide to accompany the Prime Minister to New York from
approximately 19-24 October. On this basis, therefore, if
Mr. Royle were to bring his dates forward as suggested and
could arrange to be back by 22 October, the various arrangements
proposed should be managable.
