..In Confidence
We have just learned that M. R. D. Heseltine,
Conservative MP for Tavistock, will be spending the
nights of 29/30 September in Hong Kong in the course
of an itinerary which includes four out of the five
continents (Africa being the exception). He is
scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong from Delhi at 0135
(Flight AI.112 A) hours on the morning of 30 September and will leave
(Flight AI. 102A) for Tokyo at 1845 hours on 1 October He will be
staying at the Mandarin Hotel.
We have been given no reasons for the visit
(or indeed for the tour) but it may be concerned with
Heseltine's business interests. He has strong
connections with the publishing world and was a
Director of Bow Publications from 1961-65 and is
Joint Managing Director of the Town Publishing Group.
He was a television interviewer during the period
1960-64.
Heseltine has made no special requests in
connection with his visit but he has indicated that
he would be glad to see a senior government official
if there is one who can spare the time.
