PERSONAL FOR PAUL

HKD, FROM GOVERNOR

YOUR TELNO 1946:

PROPOSED VISITS BY SECRETARIES OF STATE FOR

TRADE AND INDUSTRY/TRANSPORT

I WOULD HAVE NO DIFFICULTY WITH A VISIT FROM MR. LILLEY ON 14-15 JANUARY, WHETHER OR NOR MR. PARKINSON ALSO CAME IN THE PREVIOUS WEEK. (SEE MY SEPARATE TELEGRAM ON POSSIBLE DATES FOR MY VISIT TO PEKING). BUT THE MAIN BURDEN OF BOTH VISITS IS LIKELY TO FALL ON SBTC RATHER THAN THE HKG. HE WILL NOT DOUBT WISH TO COMMENT SEPARATELY.

2.

IF MR. LILLEY DOES COME IN JANUARY, HE WOULD OF COURSE BE WELCOME TO STAY AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE. BUT I WOULD QUITE UNDERSTAND IF, AS SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TRADE, HE PREFERRED TO STAY WITH SBTC, WHO I KNOW WOULD BE PLEASED TO HAVE HIM.
