FROM TRADE COMMISSIONER FOR HONG KONG DEPARTMENT. LORD SHEPHERD'S

VISIT.

I UNDERSTAND FROM THE COLONIAL SECRETARIAT THAT THE PRIVATE OFFICE

HAS LAID DOWN FAIRLY STRINGENT RULES FOR THIS VISIT. THE PROGRAMME

ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THESE RULES LEAVES NO TIME FOR A LUNCH I

HAD HOPED TO ARRANGE TO ALLOW LORD SHEPHERD TO ADDRESS A CLUB

RUN BY THIS OFFICE OF BRITISH EXPORTERS (1.E. EMPLOYEES OF BRITISH

AS OPPOSED TO HONG KONG FIRMS.)

2. WHILE NATURALLY THE MAIN EMPHASIS OF THE VISIT MUST BE ON

HONG KONG AND COLONIAL MATTERS, I DO HOPE THAT IF HE CANNOT MANAGE

THE LUNCH LORD SHEPHERD WILL ALLOW TIME IN HIS PROGRAMME TO

VISIT THE TRADE COMMISSION AND PERHAPS MEET A FEW REPRESENTATIVE

EXPORTERS OF BRITISH PRODUCTS.

GOVERNOR

SIR.D. FRENCH.
