THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S LUNCH FOR THE AUSTRALIAN MINISTER
FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AT 1.15 PM ON 13 JUNE
1.
Mr Peacock is passing through London on his way to Paris for the OECD Meeting on 11/15 June. He arrives by Concorde from Washington on Sunday, 11 June, after having attended the UN Special Session on Disarmament in New York.. On 12 June
Mr Peacock will be seeing Mr John Davies, and also Mr Neil Marten (I understand in connection with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association). He leaves for Paris in the evening of 13 June.
2. Mr Peacock will be accompanied at Dr Owen's lunch by the Australian High Commissioner, Sir Gordon Freeth, the Deputy High Commissioner, Mr Michael Cook, and by his Private Secretary,
Mr John Ridley.
3. The Secretary of State and Mr Peacock may want to use the occasion for an informal tour d'horizon. For this no special briefing has been prepared. Dr Owen already has copies of the briefing for the Prime Minister's meeting with Mr Fraser on 9 June, which is of course principally on economic questions, including Australia/EEC relations on which further briefing will be necessary after we have the results of Mr Garland's meeting with the Commission on 8/9 June. In case they are needed, I attach briefs on particular topics of currert interest in the context of Anglo-Australian
relations.
4. Australia and the Commonwealth (Brief No 1) may well be mentioned by Mr Peacock during the lunch as he will have addressed the Royal Commonwealth Society on "Australia in the modern Commonwealth" the evening, before.
5. Dr Owen my wish to tal': about relations with Japan (Brief No 2) and also about China, particularly in the context of continuing British involvement in Hong Kong (Brief No 3).
