I discussed this question with Emrys Davies, who was down here this week, but had not yet heard that Adrian Smith was hoping to visit him! It is really a matter for the Ambassador in Peking to decide and no doubt Smith will be in touch with Davies. As far as we are concerned, we have no particular views either for or against, but Smith should be warned that if he is going to China, he must apply for his visa in London and not here.
