MY TELNO 4187: LORD GLENARTHUR'S VISIT: PROGRAMME

THE DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION SERVICES HAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE

PRESS CONFERENCE SHOULD BE HELD IN THE AFTERNOON RATHER THAN THE

MORNING OF 11 JANUARY. THIS WOULD BE MORE CONVENIENT FOR THE MEDIA AND WOULD ALSO ENABLE LORD GLENARTHUR TO REFER TO HIS VISIT TO THE JUNK BAY NEW TOWN AND THE HKUST.

09.00 AM

-

1100 AM

11.30 AM

3.

GRATEFUL TO KNOW IF LORD GLENARTHUR IS CONTENT WITH THIS CHANGE. IT WOULD STILL ALLOW HIM PLENTY OF TIME AFTER LUNCH TO PREPARE ON HIS OWN FOR THE PRESS CONFERENCE.
