VISIT IN JULY. WE ARE STILL LOOKING AT ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE MORNING AND WILL ENSURE THAT YOU RECEIVE DETAILS AS SOON AS WE HAVE THEM. PLEASE KEEP THE PROGRAMME FREE UNTIL AFTER LUNCH AS PROPOSED.

10 JANUARY: LORD GLENARTHUR THINKS THAT THIS DAY LOOKS A LITTLE OVER-FULL. HE WOULD CERTAINLY LIKE TO VISIT THE EXHIBITION CENTRE AND WANTS TO PAY FULL VISIT TO REFUGEE CAMPS/DETENTION CENTRES. UNLESS THERE IS A PARTICULAR REASON FOR THE SUGGESTION, HE THINKS THAT THE VISIT TO THE CONTAINER PORT (WHICH HE HAS ALREADY SEEN) MIGHT BE DROPPED.

4. IF YOU CAN BEAR IT, LORD GLENARTHUR WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD ARRANGE AN EARLY CALL AT FANLING BY SAM THE TAILOR (TO FIT FOR LIGHT-WEIGHT AND UK-WEIGHT SUITS, SHIRTS AND SAFARI SUITS).

5. (FOR BANGKOK). THANK YOU FOR THE PROPOSALS IN YOUR TUR. LORD GLENARTHUR IS CONTENT FOR YOU TO PROCEED ON THIS BASIS. HE WOULD NOT/NOT WISH YOU TO PRESS THE POINT ABOUT WHETHER HE MIGHT FLY THE HELICOPTER TO THE BORDER.
