You may if you think necessary consult the
Executive Council about this. We would in any
case wish you to inform them in confidence of

Hong Kong on 9 October, since he would like to
discuss it with them, in strict confidence, during
his visit..

wish to inform the Danish Government of his new
appointment before he leaves Copenhagen.
therefore take action accordingly as soon as you
have confirmed that 17 October would be a suitable
date as far as you are concerned.
