E. ON MEETINGS WE HAVE PROPOSED:

-45 MINUTES WITH DB CHAIRMEN AND URBAN COUNCIL/REGIONAL COUNCIL CHAIRMEN (MR GOODLAD'S MEETING WITH THEM LASTED 55 MINUTES)

-45 MINUTES WITH OMELCO: WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS, NOT LEAST BECAUSE LYDIA DUNN HAS PASSED ON A FORMAL REQUEST FROM OMELCO MEMBERS, EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES THE PROGRAMME VERY TIGHT, AND A NUMBER OF LEGCO MEMBERS WILL BE COMING TO THE GH DINNER

-

AN HOUR-LONG INFORMAL SESSION WITH EXCO MEMBERS AT GOVERNMENT HOUSE

F. WE WILL ARRANGE THE PRESS CONFERENCE AT 6 PM AS REQUESTED. THIS WILL BE IN THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES CONFERENCE ROOM, WHICH HAS ALL NECESSARY FACILITIES. THE GOVERNOR WOULD ALSO LIKE

TO TAKE PART.

3. GRATEFUL FOR ANY COMMENTS ON THE PROGRAMME, AND FOR CONFIRMATION OF WHO WILL ACCOMPANY THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON THE VARIOUS ELEMENTS IN IT.
