the I Kong Government have not been able to provide
any further suggestions to replace this trip.
The Hong Kong Government have also enquired whether
Mr Thatcher would also like to be briefed on the re-
development of the Headquarters of the Hongkong and
Shanghai Bank, which has significant British consultancy

on 28 September but it would, of course, mean a very
long day for Mr Thatcher.

Finally, the Hong Kong Government has suggested that
the Senior British Trade Commissioner in Hong Kong
should call on Mr Thatcher early in the evening on
26 September to run over his programme and outline
major British interests in Hong Kong.

I attach a revised version of Mr Thatcher's programme
as it would look if all the above suggestions were
incorporated. I would be grateful to know if these
are acceptable to Mr Thatcher.
