held from 2-6 October.

EEC CAPITALS - a series of 1 or 2 day trips which Sir Geoffrey will co-ordinate with the Secretary of State (Mr Walker) as follows:-

Before end of April:

Rome/Milan

Copenhagen.

May/and July:

1

Paris Bonn.

September onwards:

The Hague Luxembourg

Dublin (possibly).

When Tony Niodunzyunki wrote to Ackland on 21 December about the Ministor's Japanese visit, the intention was for Sir Geoffrey to go at Whitsun and to North America and Mexico at Easter: but in view of the Chancellor of the Duchy's commitment to visit North America at Easter, Sir Geoffrey has reversed these two visits.

I am copying this letter to Michael Pakenham (Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster's office), to Moore (Chief Whip's office) and for information at present to Butler at No. 10.
