(i) Although the Chinese have stated

their willingness to pay the cost

of virtually the whole of the

proposed educational programme,

certain administrative costs and some

scholarship exchanges will require

extra funds for the British

Council

budget. These will amount to

£440,000 in 1979/80, rising to

£1,050,000 in 1985/6. I am writing

(ii) Increased costs arising from 5(f)

above.

7.

I am sending copies of this minute to

Edmund Dell, Shirley Williams, David

Ennals, Denis Healey and Fred Mulley.
