The Minister had previously expressed a
particular interest in the possibility of developing
advisory councils or committees to assist the City
District Officers in their functions. It will be
seen (paragraphs 77-80 of the report) that City
District Officers have made a start in this direction
by arranging meetings of "study groups" but these
groups are as yet in the embryonic stage and the
report suggests that it would be premature at present
to attempt to establish formal committees or councils.

Copies of the report have been distributed for
the information of members of the Executive and
Legislative Councils in Hong Kong. It is the
Governor's intention that it should be Tabled in the
Legislative Council and translated into Chinese for
subsequent publication. However, before this can be
done some revision of the text for public consumption
will be necessary. The revision, translation and
printing of the report may take some time to complete,
but the Governor hopes that it will be possible for
it to be fabled some time in April.
