1 I AM SORRY TO HEAR THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL NOW NOT BE

IN LONDON IN THE WEEK BEGINNING 14 OCTOBER.

2. AS YOU KNOW, THE TIMING FOR MY VISIT HAS BEEN BASED AROUND THE TDC DINNER, WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE ON 15 OCTOBER AND AT WHICH I HAVE AGREED TO SPEAK. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME INVITATIONS HAVE

ALREADY BEEN ISSUED FOR THE DINNER AND THAT FINDING A VENUE AT ANOTHER TIME WOULD BE DIFFICULT AT THIS STAGE. I ALSO HAVE A NUMBER OF OTHER COMMITMENTS LATER IN OCTOBER, INCLUDING A VISIT BY THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH.

3. SO IT LOOKS AS THOUGH I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO READJUST THE DATES OF MY VISIT. WOULD THERE BE ANY CHANCE OF SEEING THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON 14 OCTOBER BEFORE HE DEPARTS FOR ZIMBABWE?
