SUBJECT:

VISIT TO INDIAN SUB CONTINENT AND HONG KONG

CAVEAT....

1. In my letter to you of 22 July I said that we

were consulting Posts about Mr Waddington's proposed

visit and would write to you again when they had

responded. All Posts concerned have now replied to

the effect that they would welcome a visit from

Mr Waddington next month. I understand that there are

a few problems of which the Minister is aware such as

the timing of a religious holiday in the Sub Continent

and the possibility that the Indian Government may be

difficult over access to their Ministers and officials.

However, neither we nor the Posts concerned regard

these as overriding problems and I am happy to tell

you that the Foreign Secretary is content that Mr Waddington

should carry out the visit as proposed.

Enclosures-flag(s).......

2. I understand that Migration and Visa Department

have been in touch with you concerning the Minister's

itinerary. We will shortly be putting this Buste

together with a request for their ideas on
