POSSIBLE VISIT BY LORD GORONWY-ROBERTS
18th February.
Thank you for your letter of
I too was disappointed as I had been looking forward to a chat with Lord Goronwy-Roberts I was also very sad indeed at the cause of his change of plans.
2.
I have noted the possibility
of him coming here either in August or September, or in October/November.
3.
For my part I had not intended to visit the U.K. this year until November, when I am hoping to take about 2 months off for leave and a rather longer stay in London than on recent visits.: However if there is anything Lord Goronwy-Roberts would like to discuss I would gladly make a short visit to London at any time that would be convenient to him. The Dragon-boat Dinner of the Hong Kong Association in June would be a good excuse for a visit if one were thought necessary.
4.
I was not proposing to make
1
my usual short summer visit both because we seem to be in broad agreement and other things being equal my place is here. Also because this looks like being a particularly hectic parliamentary session and I imagine that Ministers and MPs might have rather more time after the summer | recess.
5.
Incidentally I think that ideas on the budget could most usefully be developed, initially at any rate, in writing.
