PROPOSED VISIT BY MINISTER FOR TRADE
FURTHER COMPLICATIONS I'M AFRAID.
MFT'S OFFICE, AT MINISTER'S OWN REQUEST, HAVE ASKED IF I COULD EXPLORE WITH YOU POSSIBILITY OF PUTTING BACK MINISTER 'S FORTHCOMING VISIT BY A COUPLE OF DAYS. MINISTER'S PREFERRED DATE TO LEAVE UK IS NOW MONDAY 24 SEPTEMBER.
I WARNED MINISTER'S OFFICE THAT THIS COULD CAUSE EXTREME DIFFICULTIES IN VIEW OF CHAIRMAN'S VISIT BUT UNDERTOOK TO CONSULT. WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR URGENT RESPONSE PLEASE.
