LAST

REV.

Andrew Stuart is busy making arrangements for his trip, SO I hope you will excuse me replying to your letter of 9 April about Lawrence kadoorie's visit.

2. I am sorry that by the time your letter had reached us after Easter we were unable to let you know before Kadoorie left that Mr & Mrs Royle will be hosting a lunch in honour of Mr & Mrs Kadoorie on 22 kay.

3. ir Royle also proposed writing to the Chairman of BAC to try and arrange for a flight in Concorde, but we found that GEC (who have of course a 50% shareholding in BAC) had already made all the necessary arrangements. No intervention on our behalf was therefore necessary.
