24TH SESSION OF WHO REGIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC

In Nigel Wenban-Smith's absence in Geneva I

am replying to your letter FAO 223/186/01 of

18 June.

2. We feel strongly that a United Kingdom

representative should be present at this Conference

in Wellington as it might well be embarrassing

vis-à-vis the Chinese if the sole UK representative

came from Hong Kong. However it is clearly not

for the FCO to consider sending a delegate from

London to a Conference like this, and I would

hope that, given Dr Kilgour's likely presence

in the area at the time, your travel budget would

be able to cover his attendance. If this proves

impossible we are quite prepared to ask a member

of our High Commission in New Zealand to attend

the meeting, although you will, I am sure, agree

that this will be neither easy nor appropriate.
