3. ON BTC TELEGRAM NO. 406, SEE NO PARTICULAR LOGISTICAL DIFFICULTY IN MOVING SBTC'S LUNCH TO 1 FEBRUARY AND HAVING THE CS'S COMMUNITY LUNCH ON 31 JANUARY. THIS WOULD LEAVE THE PROGRAMME A LITTLE SHORT OF PUBLIC EVENTS ON 1 FEBRUARY, BUT WE COULD ARRANGE PRESS COVERAGE FOR THE VISIT TO THE STOCK EXCHANGE OR THE MTR OR BOTH. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIEWS.
4. WE WILL NOW PUT IN HAND ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE PROGRAMME AND WILL TELEGRAPH A REVISED VERSION WITH DETAILED TIMINGS EARLY IN THE NEW YEAR. GRATEFUL FOR CONFIRMATION OF WHO WILL ACCOMPANY THE MINISTER.
