laid on for visiting heads of government
The Prime Minister was received with all the traditional pomp and ceremony that is laid on for visiting heads of government.
I think, laid on = held, so the bold parts becomes `that is held for visiting heads of government'.
Is the heads of government refer to the `Prime Minister'?

Thank you Nona the Brit.
Now, I got confused.
Becauser here --- [The Prime Minister was received with all the traditional pomp and ceremony that is laid on for visiting heads of government] ---- Prime Minister was visiting the heads of government then how the `heads of government' could be the same `Prime Minister'?

Ah I see where you got confused. He isn't visiting other heads of government. He is a head of government and is visiting somewhere. The people he was visiting laid on the ceremony for him. He is a 'visiting head of government'.
