1 THANK YOU. LORD FERRERS HAS ADDITIONALLY ASKED LORD CAITHNESS WHETHER A CALL ON LEE KUAN YEW MIGHT BE POSSIBLE. KNEW LEE WHEN HE WAS AT THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, AND WOULD LIKE TO RENEW THE ACQUAINTANCE. THE CALL WOULD BE PURELY PERSONAL. WE HAVE POINTED OUT TO LORD FERRERS' PRIVATE OFFICE (AND THEY ACCEPT) THAT IT IS VERY IMPROBABLE THAT A CALL CAN BE ARRANGED, GIVEN THE DATES OF LORD FERRERS' VISIT. IT WOULD NEVERTHELESS BE MUCH APPRECIATED IF YOU COULD FIND OUT FOR CERTAIN, AND ADVISE.
2 =
PLEASE CONFIRM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THAT CALLS WILL BE ARRANGED FOR BOTH 2 AND 3 JANUARY. THIS WOULD BE LORD FERRERS' PREFERRED OPTION, BUT IF CALLS WERE TO BE MADE ON 2 JANUARY ONLY, HE WOULD CONSIDER DEPARTING FOR HONG KONG ON 3 JANUARY. AS THINGS STAND, FLIGHT DETAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
30 DECEMBER DEPART HEATHROW AT 2200 HRS BY SQ21.
31
DECEMBER ARRIVE SINGAPORE AT 1840 HRS LOCAL.
4 JANUARY DEPART SINGAPORE AT 1315 FOR HONG KONG BY SINGAPORE AIRLINES. IN SINGAPORE, LORD FERRERS AND MAREY WILL STAY AT THE MARCO POLO HOTEL (BOOKINGS HAVE BEEN MADE).
