YOUR TELNO 1860: MR MAUDE'S VISIT TO HONG KONG
1. WE WILL OF COURSE ADJUST THE PROGRAMME TO SUIT THE MINISTER'S WISHES. THE VISIT TO TAIKOO SHING WILL NOW BE REPLACED BY A VISIT
TO BTC. THE VISIT ORIGINALLY SCHEDLUED TO BTC AT 1800 ON 19 SEPTEMBER HAS BEEN DELETED. ONE OTHER CHANGE TO THE PROGRAMME IS THAT FOLLOWING DISCUSSION WITH SPURRIER WE HAVE READJUSTED THE TIMING OF HIS BREAKFAST FROM 0800 TO 0730 FOR 19 SEPTEMBER FOR AVOIDACE OF DOUBT, WE SHOULD CLARIFY THAT THE MINISTER WILL HAVE 2 SEPARATE SESSIONS WITH POLITICAL GROUPS - THE FIRST WITH 6 GROUPS COLLECTIVELY AND THE SECOND WITH 9 GROUPS COLLECTIVELY. APOLOGISE IF THIS WAS UNCLEAR IN MY TELNO 3014.
2. WE ARE FAXING TO HKD COPIES OF BRIEFS ON THE ECONOMY, FINANCIAL MARKETS AND MAJOR DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS. WE ARE ALSO FAXING AN ASSESSMENT OF THE POLITICAL GROUPS THAT MR MAUDE WILL MEET.
3. WE HAVE TELEGRAPHED ON THE PRESS BRIEF SEPARATELY.
