1. Mr Goodlad welcomed Senator Cook. He thought prospects for trade with Australia were good and hoped the UK/Australia trade conference in Melbourne next January would go well. Senator Cook hoped so too, as he was Co-Chairman: he would try to ensure the talks were properly directed.
2. Senator Cook had been charged with inviting Mr Goodlad to Australia as a Guest of Government. The Minister said he very much hoped to make a visit before long. Like most Britons, he had relatives in Australia. Wearing his regional representative's hat, Senator Cook thought it important that, when the Minister visited, he should enter or leave Australia via Perth.
