TOP COPY Q DIST?
FOR PS/LORD CAITHNESS (VISITING).
VISIT OF LORD CAITHNESS.
HE GAVE
1. WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM MARTIN LEE TO SEE LORD CAITHNESS FOR HALF AN HOUR DURING HIS VISIT TO HONG KONG. NO INDICATION OF THE SUBJECTS HE WISHED TO RAISE. LORD CAITHNESS'S PROGRAMME IS ALREADY VERY TIGHT AND THE REQUEST COMES VERY LATE IN THE DAY.
2. LORD CAITHNESS WILL OF COURSE BE SEEING MARTIN LEE TOGETHER WITH OTHER MEMBERS OF OMELCO ON 6 DECEMBER. THERE IS NO OVERRIDING REASON WHY HE SHOULD SEE MARTIN LEE SEPARATELY, PARTICULARLY SINCE LEE CALLED ON HIM IN LONDON IN LATE OCTOBER. IF LORD CAITHNESS WOULD LIKE TO FIT IN A MEETING THE ONLY POSSIBILITIES, WITHOUT RESCHEDULING ITEMS ALREADY IN THE PROGRAMME, WOULD BE ON SATURDAY 7 DECEMBER FOR SAY HALF AN HOUR EITHER BEFORE HIS DEPARTURE TO MACAU CAT 9.30 AM) OR AFTER HIS RETURN CAT 5 PM).
3. GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD LET US HAVE LORD CAITHNESS'S VIEWS.
