PERSONAL FOR HEAP FROM PAUL, HKD
YOUR TELNO 260 : VISIT OF SECRETARY OF STATE TO HONG KONG :
2-4 JULY/ROYAL
VISIT.
1. I FED THE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR TELEGRAM TO THE SECRETARY OF
STATE. HE AGREES THAT YOUR INTEREST MUST BE FULLY CATERED FOR IN THE PROGRAMME BUT BELIEVES THAT THE SPEECH PLATFORM SHOULD BE A
HONG KONG ONE RATHER THAN A BRITISH COMMERCIAL ONE (SEE
SEPARATE TELEGRAM).
2. AS YOU WILL SEE FROM ANOTHER TELEGRAM I HAVE SENT TODAY, THE SECRETARY OF STATE HAS DECIDED THAT THE ROYAL VISIT SHOULD GO
AHEAD AS PLANNED. YOUR TELEGRAMS ABOUT THE INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION
WERE MOST TIMELY. I ENSURED THAT THEY WERE BROUGHT URGENTLY TO
MINISTERS' ATTENTION.
