YOUR TELNO 384: PROPOSED VISIT BY LORD FERRERS
WD 3/ATT
1. YOU ARE RIGHT THAT THE SINGAPOREANS WILL WANT A CLEAR INDICATION
OF THE PURPOSE OF LORD FERRERS' VISIT BEFORE FALLING IN WITH ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR A PROGRAMME. YOU KNOW HOW BUSINESS-ORIENTATED THEY ARE AND HOW LITTLE STORE IS SET HERE ON COURTESY EXCHANGES. WE
SHOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR CLEAR GUIDANCE ON THE OBJECTIVES OF THE VISIT BEFORE APPROACHING THEM AND FOR MORE DETAILED STEERS ON WHAT LORD FERRERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE, E.G WHAT ASPECTS OF THE SINGAPORE POLICE FORCE DOES MR KENDALL BELIEVE TO BE OF SPECIAL INTEREST ?
WILL THE MINISTER WANT TO TRANSACT ANY SPECIFIC BUSINESS ?
2. WHILE WE WILL NATURALLY DO OUR BEST TO ARRANGE FOR LORD FERRERS TO SEE THE APPROPRIATE INTERLOCUTERS, 2 JANUARY WILL NOT BE A GOOD TIME TO CATCH THEM. MANY SINGAPOREANS WILL HAVE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY TO TRAVEL OVERSEAS, WITH THEIR FAMILIES. IT MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ENSURE THAT LORD FERRERS IS RECEIVED AT THE RIGHT LEVEL, NOT LEAST BECAUSE HE HAS NO OBVIOUS COUNTERPART IN THE
SINGAPORE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS.
