FOR GOVERNOR FROM STUART.

YOUR VISIT.

K

1. LORD GORONWY-ROBERTS YESTERDAY HAD A USEFUL MEETING WITH

LABOUR PARLIAMENTARIANS (INCLUDING SILLARS) IN THE COURSE OF

WHICH IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL IF YOU COULD

ALSO TALK TO THEM BRIEFLY DURING YOUR VISIT.

2. THE PROTOCOL IS THAT IT WOULD NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOU TO

GO TO A PARTY MEETING IN THE HOUSE, BUT THAT A MEETING ELSEWHERE

UNDER A MINISTER'S AUSPICES WOULD BE ALL RIGHT. IF YOU AGREE, THEREFORE, LORD GORONWY-ROBERTS WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A SHORT MEETING WITH THE GROUP IN HIS OFFICE ON THE MORNING OF 19 DECEMBER.

WE CAN FIT THIS INTO YOUR PROGRAMME.

3. GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
