Royal Visits Committee

The attached schedule of proposed royal visits to

Commonwealth countries and visits to this country by Commonwealth Heads of State has been prepared for the Committee's meeting on Tuesday 10 October on the basis of the information available at the moment in C.P. & P. Department.

2.

Departments are asked to examine the schedule and to suggest additions or amendments. It would be helpful if they would also supply short notes on items with which they are concerned, suitable for incorporation in the Permanent Under Secretary's brief for the Royal Visits Committee. These should either be cleared with the appropriate F.0. Departments or an indication given that there is no reason to expect any strong reaction from the F.0.

3. I should be grateful if you would let me have your comments on the schedule or nil returns by Tuesday 26 September and notes for the brief by Friday 29 September.

Planning Department 15 September, 1967.
