LAO

Mr Maude wished to brief Dr Owen 8. June 22,

1 I spoke to Dr Owen's secretary, Maggie Smart

(0442 872617) on 19 January. I undertook to send a reminder to Hong Kong about the programme and I added Dr Owen's request to look over the Centres at Sheng hen, a suggestion which, I think, the Secretary of State made when he met Dr Owen on 17 January.

2.

Miss Smart said that Dr Owen was keen to have a thorough briefing before his departure on 1 February. He is not available on 26 and 31 January. I undertook to seek advice on how best to arrange this and let Miss Smart know.

I should be grateful to know how you want to play this: Ministerial or official briefing?
