Visit of The Secretary of State for Foreign & Commonwealth Affairs. Programme for Monday, 14th February if weather restricts or prevents the use of helicopters.
A decision will be taken by 09.00 as to whether the cloud base is likely to be high enough for the whole programme to be carried out as published, or whether:-
(a) The use of helicopters is to be restricted to the harbour and Kowloon
areas, thus cutting out the afternoon tour of the New Territories.
(b) Helicopters cannot be used at all, thus cutting out also the morning
visit to TALTEX Ltd. at Tsuen Wan.
