SPEAKING NOTE FOR THE CHAIRMAN (MR EVAN LUARD MP)
Opening Remarks
1.
I am happy to welcome you to this meeting. This is my first appearance in the Chair and I look forward to a useful and informative discussion. You are all busy men and I know you will have other commitments today. I hope therefore that we shall be able to complete our business by midday. This suggests that these opening remarks should be brief and that we should get down to our main business without delay.
Apologies for absence
2.
Item 1: Minutes of the last meeting and Item 2: Matters arising. 3. The minutes of the tenth meeting held in January 1976 were circulated shortly after that meeting. I hope they may be confirmed as a true record. The major items discussed at the last meeting also re-appear on today's agenda, notably those relating to Hong Kong, South Africa and the International Labour Organisation.
I hope that any matters arising can be dealt with when these items are reached today. Are you agreeable?
Item 3: Hong Kong Professor Turner's Interim and Provisional
Review of Labour Relations in the Colony.
[Mr Stewart, Head of Hong Kong & General Department, will
attend for this item ]
