In Michael Laird's absence on leave I am

replying to your letter to him of 28/July about the

possibility of a visit to Hong Kong by Princess

Alexandra next spring.

dates when you would her to visit Hong Kong

and the length of the visit you would like her to suggest

She should

make. I am sorry that we omitted to make this

clear earlier.

It would be as well if we were

to offer, say three specific sets of dates as

alternatives. April would appear to offer a clear

vi (apart from the Queen's Birthday) and we might

perhaps offer two sets of dates during that month

with a third/at the end of March or during May.

However, this is for you to decide.

B

We are, of course, aware that the main reason

for the visit is connected with H.R.H.'s appointment

as Commandant General of the Royal Hong Kong Police

Force.
