DESK OFFICER INDEX
PA
1 DO NOT KNOW WHETHER A MINISTER OR THE PUS WOULD WISK TO HOST A SMALL RECEPTION ON JULY 5 FOR UNOFFICIAL EXCO MEMBERS TO MEET A WIDER SELECTION OF MPS FROM THE HONG KONG PARLIAMENTARY GROUP, THE HONG KONG ASSOCIATION, AND OTHERS INTERESTED IN HONG KONG THAN WILL BE POSSIBLE AT MR LUCE'S LUNCH. IF THEY WOULD NOT WISH
TO DO SO I SHOULD BE GLAD TO DO SO MYSELF AND COVER THE COST. IN THIS CASE COULD WE HAVE THE USE OF THE INDIA OFFICE COUNCIL
CHAMBER? I SUGGEST THIS BECAUSE IF WE HOLD IT AT A HOTEL OR SOME
OTHER SPOT OUTSIDE WE SHOULD HAVE VERY GREAT DIFFICULTY IN
AVOIDING GATE-CRASHING FROM THE PRESS.
2. GIVEN THE CHANGE IN MEMBERSHIP OF THE HOUSE YOU WILL HAVE A
BETTER IDEA OF AN APPROPRIATE GUESTLINE THAN WE HAVE: AND IF I AM TO BE HOST WOULD BE CONTENT TO USE THE SAME GUESTLIST
AS YOU WOULD RECOMMEND MINISTERS.
3.
IMAGINE THAT GOVERNMENT HOSPITALITY WOULD BE READY TO MAKE
THE ARRANGEMENTS ON A FULL REPAYMENT BASIS.
