CONFIDENTIAL
5. We have had no indication that accommodation of the Trade Commission staff in Hong Kong will be raised, but I have included a short contingent brief.
5. I would not expect the Sub-Committee to go back over any of the ground they covered in their Eighth Report. In any case they have not yet received departmental observations on the recommendations they then made. (Action on these lies with the Treasury and PSA.) Since the publication of the Eighth Report they have however written to us about one matter, our sites in East Germany. The chances of this being raised at Tuesday's session are remote, but I have included a note on the subject.
7. The general line of these briefs has been cleared with the PSA by telephone. They accept that one or two of our replies could open the way for the Sub-Committee deciding to take evidence from the PSA; the brief on air conditioning in Nicosia is an obvious
example.
