1. HADDON-CAVE ALREADY HAS APPOINTMENTS ON THE AFTERNOON OF MONDAY AUGUST & AND WILL BE ENGAGED AT EXCO ON MORNING OF TUESDAY 9. I HAVE PROVISIONALLY ARRANGED APPOINTMENT FOR LORD KINDERSLEY AND GEMMILL AT 1500 ON TUESDAY AUGUST 9 BUT IF THIS IS QUITE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM I WILL SEE WHETHER MR HADDON-CAVE WOULD BE PREPARED TO ALTER HIS DIARY TO FIT THE VISITORS IN ON THE MONDAY AFTERNOON. GRATEFUL YOUR URGENT ADVICE AND FOR DATES OF LORD

KINDERSLEY'S ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE.

2. KADCORIE HAS NOW TELEPHONED STONES TO WARN HIM THAT OUR TIMETABLE ON PRESENTATION MIGHT SLIP INTO SEPTEMBER. STONES SEEMS CUITE PREPARED FOR THIS BUT I MUST DISCUSS IT FORMALLY WITH SIR SIDNEY GORDON, THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN. UNFORTUNATELY, SIP SIDNEY

IS FULLY ENGAGED UNTIL TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND I SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT ON CLP/PEPCO'S REACTIONS TO THE NEWS OR TO THE SUGGESTION THAT MOUCHEL'S CONSULTANCY WORK SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE UNTIL THE SECOND HALF OF NEXT WEEK.

3. YOUR PARA.4. AS FAR AS I AM AWARE THERE HAS BEEN NO STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNOR ON THE FUTURE OF LANTAU ISLAND. HIS ASSURANCES ON THE SITE WERE GIVEN ORALLY TO SIR LAWRENCE AND CONFIRMED WHEN YOU AND I CALLED ON HIM ON JUNE 15.
