extended responsibilities will be confined to a small-
scale information effort in trade promotion and,
subject to any views you may hold, it is not the
intention to make any change in the title of the
British Trade Commissionerks Office. We hope, however,
that if it were later found possible to post a U.K.
based Information Officer to Hong Kong he would, in
addition to giving priority to commercial information
work, undertake a moderate range of other information
activities, so long as the se did not run any risk of
embarrassing your Government or causing trouble with the
Chinese Government.
