^ W 8 « - • ? . . . SERIAL No, 10 DOWNING STREET THE PRIME MINISTER You will be aware of the public concern that has been expressec in Parliament and more generally in Britain about reports suggesting that you may be planning to come to this country next month. This concern which is shared by Her Majesty's Government would undoubtedly grow if it seemed likely that these reports might be proved correct. Accordingly, I have decided to address this personal letter xc your Excellency. In consideration of what has followed since diplomatic relations between Britain and Uganda were severed in July 1976, a personal visit from you would set back even further any future developments between our two countries. As it is the desire of Her Majesty's Government that relations between Uganda and Britain should not be unnecessarily harmed, I must inform your Excellency that a visit from you would not be appropriate, and that Her Majesty's Government would be obliged therefore not to permit your entry to the country. Her Majesty's Government would be ready to accept a delegation from Uganda if you can see your way to appointing a special repre- sentative to lead it. Such a delegation would receive all the normal courtesies and attentions accorded to delegations which visit this country. His Excellency Al-Hajji, Field Marshal, Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC » - > • ' • : • ' • " • • - . . « • . , - - , . . : " • • • f
