FOR HUM HKD FROM GOVERNOR
MY TELNO 2133: EXCO VISIT TO LONDON IN SEPTEMBER
1. H AND MY DELEGATION OF UNOFFICHALS WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HOST A LUNCH OR DINNER FOR MINISTERS AND OFFICIALS DURING THE EXCO WISHT. NOW THAT THERE WILL BE NO NAUGURAL DINNER FOR THE UK/HK BUSINESS COOPERATION COMMITTEES, WONDER IF THE SECRETARY OF STATE AND MR. RENTON WOULD BE FREE FOR DINNER ON 10 SEPTEMBER? #IF NO, CAN YOU SUGGEST A POSSIBLE DATE FOR A LUNCH?
2. AS REGARDS VENUE, WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO BORROW CARLTON GARDENS FOR THIS PURPOSE?
YOU WILL RECALL THAT WE USED ONE OF THE FCO PREMISES FOR A RECEPTION MN 1983. ALL COSTS WOULD OF COURSE BE MET BY THE HKG.
