YOUR TELNO 1932 YOUR VISIT TO LONDON IN JULY

1.

I UNDERSTAND THAT SIR P BLAKER HAS RECOMMENDED THAT LUNCH WITH THE OFFICE HOLDERS OF THE HONG KONG PARLIAMENTARY GROUP WOULD SUFFICE. MRS BOTTOMLEY CONCURS WITH THIS ADVICE. SHE FEELS THAT IT WOULD LOOK A LITTLE ODD TO GO FOR A FULL SCALE MEETING OF THE GROUP IN THE WEEK AFTER A COMMONS DEBATE ON HONG KONG. WHERE YOUR OTHER ENGAGEMENTS ARE CONCERNED, WE HAVE TAKEN THE PRECAUTION OF MAKING ADVANCE BOOKINGS FOR YOU WITH LORD GLENARTHUR (AT 1530 ON 18 JULY) AND WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE (BETWEEN 1530 AND 1700 ON 19 JULY).

2. WE ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF OUTSTANDING BIDS FROM BUSINESSMEN TO MEET YOU NEXT TIME YOU ARE IN LONDON. THEY ARE:

MESSRS GEORGE GOVAN AND JEREMY BROWN CHONG KONG TRADE ADVISORY GROUP)

SIR ERIC SHARP (CABLE AND WIRELESS)

SIR ROBERT WADE-GERY (BARCLAYS BANK).

WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO FIT THEM IN? IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF OTHER MEETINGS IN MIND THIS COULD MEAN STAYING ON UNTIL 21 JULY.
