Timing
6. A proposal is also being considered by Ministers
that we try to organise consultations with like-
minded Ministers in Geneva on the day before the
Conference. It seems unlikely the Secretary of
State's party could find time to get to Geneva for
these, but Mr Blaker and the main party of officials
would certainly have to do so. Subject to
Ministerial decision, this suggests that the main
party might have to travel on Wednesday evening,
18 July or early on Thursday, 19 July.
May I now please ask for your Conference Section to
start the necessary administrative planning. I have
already given UKMIS Geneva an indication of the size
of the party and they are concerned about the avail-
ability of hotel rooms. Would you envisage a charter
aircraft?
