PLEASE THANK LORD CAITHNESS FOR HIS MESSAGE IN FCO TELNO 1426 AND FOR HIS INVITATION TO LUNCH ON 29 AUGUST. MY WIFE AND I WOULD BE DELIGHTED TO ACCEPT. GRATEFUL FOR DETAILS IN DUE COURSE. HKD KNOW WHERE TO FIND ME IN SCOTLAND.
2.
A VISIT TO HONG KONG BY LORD CAITHNESS BEFORE RATHER THAN AFTER THE JLG MEETING WOULD BE FINE. I SUGGEST A THREE DAY WORKING VISIT FROM 17-19 SEPTEMBER. LORD CAITHNESS MIGHT WISH TO ARRIVE ON 15 SEPTEMBER TO ALLOW HIM TIME TO RECOVER FROM JET-LAG AND TO HAVE A QUIET DAY WITH ME AT FANLING LODGE. IF THIS IS CONVENIENT FOR THE MINISTER, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO SUGGEST A DRAFT PROGRAMME.
3.
THE CHIEF SECRETARY, SIR DAVID FORD, WILL BE VISITING LONDON IN EARLY SEPTEMBER, I.E. SHORTLY BEFORE LORD CAITHNESS'S PROPOSED VISIT TO HONG KONG. I THINK THE MINISTER WOULD FIND IT USEFUL TO SEE HIM, IF HE HAS THE TIME. I WILL ASK DAVID FORD TO BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU TO SEE IF THIS WOULD BE CONVENIENT AND, IF SO, WHEN.
