TO PRIORITY BTC HONG KONG TELNO CREDA 8 OF 12 JANUARY, 1977.
FOR KINNEAR FROM ROBERTS.
YOUR CREDA 7: VISIT OF SIR P CAREY.
1. SIR P CAREY IS CONTENT WITH THE PROGRAMME. HE HAS SAID THAT
HE WOULD PARTICULARLY LIKE TO MEET YK PAO IN THE COURSE OF MEETINGS WITH SHIPPING FIRMS. NO DOUBT YOU ALREADY HAVE THIS IN HAND, PROVIDED THAT PAO IS IN HONG KONG AT THE TIME. IF NOT, I IMAGINE THAT YOU WILL INCLUDE PAO'S DEPUTY.
2. AS TO SOCIAL EVENTS, BULLOCK AND HEYHOE WOULD LIKE TO BE INCLUDED IF POSSIBLE AND WHERE NUMBERS PERMIT, WITH PRIORITY GIVEN TO BULLOCK. THE GILL AND DUFFUS LUNCH SHOULD BE REGARDED AS QUASI-PERSONAL
AND WE SUGGEST THAT ONLY SIR PETER SHOULD GO.
3. I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT SPACE IN YOUR DINING ROOM IS RESTRICTED. IF NECESSARY HEYHOE WILL DROP OUT FROM YOUR DINNER, BUT IN THAT CASE SIR PETER HAS ASKED IF YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO MAKE A NOTE OF ANY SIGNIFICANT POINTS WHICH ARISE IN DISCUSSION THAT EVENING.
