Bunny Carter wrote to you in his letter HKK.
26/1 of 16 March about the possibility of a visit
by HRH Princess Alexandra to Hong Kong during 1970.
the We have just heard that the Royal Visits
Committee, at its meeting on 30 June, decided that
it would be preferable for the proposed visit to
be deferred from October, 1970, until next spring.
Bor I am afraid that this is all the information
we have at the moment but perhaps you will let us
whether a visit next spring would be likely
know
to present you with any problems. We should like
to be in a position to follow this matter up as and
when opportunity occurs and it would be helpful if
you could let us know whether there are any particular
periods during next spring which should be avoided
for the purposes of the visit.
Since the matter is still very much in the air,
I think it would be wiser if you did not mention
it to your unofficial advisers at this stage.
