Dorward will be very welcome to join the UK
Delegation to meetings of the OECD ad hoc Group until
Jones is available to take his place. However the
meetings of the group being arranged in July are
unlikely to do more than to enable questions to be
put to each donor country in turn on its submissions
and are unlikely to get very far on any of the main
issues still to be settled. These, including the
question of beneficiary countries, will probably
come up for intensive discussion only in September
and October.
2. The Board of Trade have been copying the
submissions so far received to Jones at Geneva til
his return, they will send copies direct to Hong Kong,
including the US and Japanese submissions whenever
they become available in July.
3.
Arrangements have already been made for
Dorward to accompany Kemmis to the next session of
the UNCTAD Special Committee.
