Comments
(i) Operational
Japan is to be Inspected this autumn; in our
view the level of information activity is right
and there is no scope for reduction of staff.
(ii) Future Developments
We foresee no events in the near future likely
to involve increased activity or expenditure.
There will however be a State Visit to Tokyo at
a date to be announced.
