Mr Ford rang about briefing for Mr Bremridge. At present the latter is with the GLC and will then go on to the Bank of England. From 6 to 23 April he will have a clear period in which he would like to undertake calls on officials and others to be suggested jointly by HKGO and ourselves.

I said we would work out a suggested list and get in touch with Mr Ford for a discussion. Please prepare a draft list covering:
