VISIT BY THE PRIME MINISTER TO THE FAR EAST
short brief on x, y, zu.
in PM4 brating. Pse Liaise with DOT
JESSD.
I enclose a copy of a letter which the Prime Minister
has received from Mr. Michael Marshall, M.P. As you will see,
it outlines a number of defence sales and other commercial
opportunities which Mr. Marshall believes might be pursued during
the Prime Minister's visit to the Far East in September.
Mrs. Thatcher has replied, thanking Mr. Marshall for
his letter and saying that we shall be looking at all his ideas.
Unless you or other recipients consider that the Prime
Minister should receive advice on any of these matters now, perhaps
you could ensure that they are covered to the extent necessary in
the briefing which is prepared for the visit.
I am copying this letter and enclosure to Francis Richards
(Foreign and Commonwealth Office), John Rhodes (Department of
Trade), Jonathan Spencer (Department of Industry) and
David Wright (Cabinet Office).
