A

INTERVIEW WITH SWEDISH DAILY 'EXPRESSEN''

At the Foreign Press Association lunch on Monday, the Secretary of State agreed to give an interview to the London Editor of 'Expressen'. Mr Anthal had already written asking for an interview and we were about to recommend it. He will need about half an hour, preferably next week.

2.

Mr Anthal has submitted 14 questions. But he would be willing to cut out any which did not find favour, since he now wants to make space for the Secretary of State's Middle East speech. I have marked a couple of questions which might be best omitted.

3.

If the Secretary of State agrees, we will submit answers in note form, on the model used for today's Daily Telegraph interview.
