YOUR TELNO 288 TO HONG KONG: VISIT BY LORD CALLAGHAN TO HONG KONG, SHANGHAI AND PEKING

1.

I NOTE THAT LORD CALLAGHAN AND HIS SON EXPECT TO BE IN PEKING FOR TWO DAYS. IN NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES I WOULD BE HAPPY TO OFFER THEM ACCOMMODATION AT THE RESIDENCE, BUT ON PRESENT PLANS MY WIFE AND I WILL BE AWAY (IN TIBET) WHEN THEY ARE HERE. I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF THE DEPARTMENT COULD EXPLAIN THE SITUATION TO LORD CALLAGHAN. I ASSUME THAT THE CHINESE WILL PUT HIM AND HIS SON UP AT THE DIAOYUTAI OR A SUITABLE HOTEL BUT THE MINISTER WILL BE GLAD TO OFFER THEM ANY OTHER ASSISTANCE THEY MAY NEED.
