Draft paragraph for inclusion in Private Office letter to No 10

The latest draft programme for the Prime Minister's
visit to Hong Kong is that given in the attached telegram
876 of 16 August from Hong Kong. (A copy of this was
sent to Alan Logan by Michael Hall under cover of his
letter of 20 August). This draft is based on
the outline programme approved earlier by the Prime
Minister. The only addition is the inclusion of a short
meeting between the Prime Minister and a delegation of
Urban Councillors on Monday, 27 September, in support of which
John Holmes wrote to Fim Flesher on 27 August. The Prime
Minister's arrival time in Hong Kong (at present shown
as 12.25) is dependent on whether she visits Canton.
If she visits Canton, her arrival in Hong Kong would be
about 16.00 hours. I understand that Mr Thatcher's
programme as given in paragraphs 12 and 13 of
Hong Kong Telegram 876 has been approved by No 10.
