I UNDERSTAND FROM THE HONG KONG TRADE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE HERE THAT YOU ARE THINKING OF ARRIVING ON 20 NOVEMBER AND LEAVING ON 23 NOVEMBER. I HAVE JUST HEARD THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR SCOTLAND HAS POSTPONED HIS VISIT BY ONE WEEK AND HE WILL NOW COINCIDE EXACTLY WITH YOU. I DO NOT THINK YOU NEED CHANGE YOUR PLANS ON THIS ACCOUNT BUT IT IS LIKELY TO MEAN THAT SHALL BE UNABLE TO DO MUCH WITH YOU OR FOR YOU DURING YOUR VISIT. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER MR MILLAN WILL WISH TO STAY IN MY HOUSE, BUT I WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO PUT YOU UP EVEN IF HE DOES.
