Britain's Role (perhaps including a look at

the nature and concerns of the Commonwealth

community in the UK).

As to speakers, there could certainly be advantage in approaching the Commonwealth Secretariat. (If

you decide to invite the Secretary-General to speak

I would suggest you hear him on A(iii) above rather than A(i); Mr Ramphal is a frequent speaker on North/South

matters and it would be useful on this occasion to

hear him on the broader subject of c/w cooperation.)

As to other speakers you might consider:

On general Commonwealth issues:

Lord Garner

Dr Peter Lyon (Institute of Commonwealth Studies); Mr Derek Ingram (Editor of the Gemini News Service);

On Africa

The Hon. Godfrey Morrison ('The Times;

formerly Africa

Confidential' and the magazine "Commonwealth")

On North/South and Lomé matters:

One or two of the following:

Mr Sam Brittain ('The Financial Times');

Professor P D Henderson (Department of Political Economy at University College, London);

Mr Maurice Foley (the EC Commission);

Kr Vincent Cable (ODI);

Dr Carol Twitchett (University of Reading),

Sir D Orr (late of Unilever); and

Sir J Murray (Trade Policy Research Centre).

I would of course be more than happy to contribute myself.
