INFO CANBERRA
CANBERRA “TELNO”.556: UK/AUSTRALIA AIR SERVICES.
BY THE IMTE WE MET ROBERTS FOR DISCUSSIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK, THERE HAD NOT BEEN TIME TO CONSULT CPA AND GIVE A CONSIDERED VIEW ON THE POINTS MENTIONED IN PARAGRAPH 5 OF TELEGRAM UNDER REFERENCE. WE HAD HOPED TO RESPOND FULLY THIS WEEK BUT CPA ARE HAVING TO DO MORE RESEARCH THAN THEY ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. WE MAY WELL NOT BE IN A POSITION TO RESPOND BEFORE THE AUSTRALIANS MEET THE ASEAN GROUP ON 22 AND 23 OCTOBER. WE REGRET THIS AND WILL CERTAINLY SEND A FURTHER TELEGRAM JUST AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AS WILL BE APPRECIATED, WE WOULD NOT WISH TO
MAKE HASTILY AND ILL-CONSIDERED COMMENTS.
