I greatly regret that you have not received
an earlier reply to your letter of the 6th September
about the possibility of a visit by Her Majesty
The Queen to Hong Kong in 1968. As you will have
gathered from later exchanges with Arthur Galsworthy
your original letter was mislaid here.
The question of a Royal Visit to South East
Asia in 1968 was recently considered by the Royal
Visits' Committee and the possibility of including in
the itinerary a visit to Hong Kong in the context of
mew
Swa
the Plover Cove scheme was put to the Committee at
the same time. No decision was taken on the wider
issue but I am afraid that there is no prospect of
Her Majesty's visiting Hong Kong in 1968 even if the
visit to S.E. Asia does take place.
We are still pursuing with the Foreign
Office your alternative suggestion that, failing a
visit by Her Majesty, the possibility of a visit by
Prince Charles might be examined. We are not yet in
a position to give any views on this idea, but you
ill certainly be informed the moment that we have
any information to pass on to you.
