1. WE ARE LETTING IT BE KNOWN TODAY THAT I SHALL BE SEEING THE PRIME MINISTER DURING MY VISIT TO THE UK. WE WILL BE TAKING VERY MUCH THE LINE IN PARA. 3 OF TUR.
2. MY INCLINATION IS STILL TO MAKE KNOWN MY AUDIENCE WITH THE QUEEN BEFORE IT TAKES PLACE, SO THAT WE CAN GIVE AN EXPLANATION OF ITS PURPOSE. BUT I NOW PROPOSE TO DO THIS IN LONDON, WHEN WE TELL ANYBODY INTERESTED THROUGH THE LONDON OFFICE WHAT MY ENGAGEMENTS WILL BE FOR THAT DAY. SO I WILL NOT ANNOUNCE IT PUBLICLY BEFORE I LEAVE HONG KONG.
