Comments
(i) Operational
Trade promotional activity seems to be competently
carried out. The Trade Commission is to be
inspected this autumn and the Inspectors have
been asked to look closely into the appropriate
grading of the Trade Commissioner (Press Relations).
(ii) Future Developments
We do not see any developments in the next two
or three years likely to change the demands on
the post.
(iii) Liaison between the BBC and Radio Hong Kong is
extremely close, and the local station uses a
considerable amount of BBC material. The
position of the British Council in a colony is
- 36.
