Foreign policy and migration and finance and trade. Sound’s like rather a plateful to me to be dealt with in one week but I hope to be able to do it. Apart from that I think I can say that as always I get a great thrill out of coming to Great Britain. I’m looking forward to this visit as to all the others I’ve had’. (Orig. Neg.)
