CAVEAT...

Enclosures-flag(s)...........

Mr Clift is currently on leave in Norway and

were

on present plans is due back in the Office on 11 March.

His arrangements have been made some time ago and he

is travelling on a special excursion ticket which does

not permit him to change the date of his return journey

without considerable financial penalty.

2.

Since Mr Clift made his arrangements, it has

been agreed that the Governor of Hong Kong should come to

London from 9 13 March for consultations with the

-

Secretary of State and other Ministers on pressing

political problems. I believe it is essential that

Mr Clift be present in London throught the Governor's

visit and I am therefore asking him to return here

to be on hand as from the morning of 9 March. In the

circumstances, the FCO should bear the cost of any

additional expenses incurred by Mr Clift up to and

including the full cost of an Oslo/London economy fare.

As Mr Clift will have to make urgent arrangements

for his travel, please let Mr Morrice (HKGD) know today

that this is in order as he will be telephoning

3.

Mr Clift first thing this afternoon.
