OUR TELNO 1497: VISIT OF DEFENCE SELECT COMMITTEE
1. THE SECRETARY OF THE COMMITTEE HAS INFORMED US THAT POSSIBLE
CHANGES IN THE COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED PROGRAMME MAY ALLOW AN
EARLIER ARRIVAL IN AND THEREFORE LONGER VISIT TO HONG KONG THAN
ORIGINALLY PLANNED.
2. AS YOU ARE AWARE, THE PRESENT PLAN IS THAT THE COMMITTEE
SHOULD ARRIVE IN HONG KONG ON 4 DECEMBER AND LEAVE ON 6 DECEMBER.
HOWEVER, THEY MAY NOW BE ABLE TO BRING FORWARD THEIR ARRIVAL TO 1
OR 2 DECEMBER. AS THEIR DEPARTURE DATE WOULD REMAIN UNCHANGED,
THIS WOULD ALLOW THE COMMITTEE TO UNDERTAKE A MUCH FULLER
PROGRAMME IN HONG KONG..
3.
WE WILL CONFIRM THE REVISED DATES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
IN THE MEANTIME GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION THAT EARLIER
ARRIVAL WOULD CAUSE NO DIFFICULTIES FOR YOU.
