We confirm that we consider the presence of the
Scots Guards Pipes and Drums would make a useful contri-
bution to the success of the Prime Minister's visit.
Please now make a tentative approach in confidence to
Hong Kong & Shanghai Bank and Jardines to ask if they
would be willing to sponsor such a visit. Please
emphasise that the feasibility of the project, including
the accommodation question, has not yet been broached
with the Chinese.
