1. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TELELETTER. I NOTE THE POSITION ON THE PROCESSING OF THE PAPERS BY YOUR LEGAL ADVISER. IT IS NOT ESSENTIAL THAT WE GO TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL MEETING IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER WOULD BE FINE. TO ALLOW ME TO MAKE ALL THE APPROPRIATE BRIEFING AND PUBLICITY ARRANGEMENTS AT THIS END, COULD YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE DATE WHEN THE PAPERS WILL BE PUT TO THE PRIVY COUNCIL AND WHEN OUR PROPOSALS WOULD BE LIKELY TO BECOME PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE IN LONDON.
