The Chairman said there were no difference. The facts produced by the survey in 1976 wers there in the report wherein there was a slight mistake in that paragraph about the number of companies which had been covered previously made no difference to the interpretation and the valuation of the 1976 report.

Mr. Hace asked if the Staff Side could elaborate their question. He then said he was at a loss to understand why the Staff Side considered that an important point and it would possibly effect the median point.
63.
Miss So said since the Official Side based on the data produced by the PIU to calculate the median point and to fix the Civil Service rate, since there were mistake in the PIU and the Official Side still accepted it without question, the median point so calculated in fixing the pay rate would certainly be affected.
64.
Mr. Hammond said the Staff Side had obviously not understood what they were talking about. Civil Service pay rates were based on the data at the back.

Miss So said although the mistake occurred in the introduction of the report, it gave the Staff Side some sort of misleading idea. When they went on with the report, they would begin to doubt whether the data was misleading too.

Mr. Hammond said that might be the Staff Side'c view, but certainly not theirs.

Mies SO sald perhaps the Official Side might not feel the same way as they did. The pay rate fixed by the Official Side were based on the FIU Report which they thought had a mistake and it had been confirmed by Mr. Hammond and also Mr. Broadbridge in the previous meeting that the PIU Report was hundred per cent right. Now they had found out the mistake and since that was a minor mistake, claimed by the Official Side, the Staff Side would like the Official Side to explain that mistake.

Hr. Hammond said the Official Side was correct and the Official Side would never query the factual details of the Report. No excrcise would ever comlete the whole point. The PIU must be accepted by both the Official Side and the Staff Side 23 accurate.
How is wes interpreted and evaluated was a matter of the Official Side and Staff Side.

Mrs. Cheung said the Staff Side was glad to see the Official Side had such a confidence in the accuracy of the PI Report but now the Staff Side would like to confirm what Mr. Mace had said earlier in the meeting that there were 41 companies in the survey instead of 27.
70.
Mr. Hiace answered 41 were all looked at, but they did had analogies (17 companies out of 41 which had JẠT analogue). They had chosen those with SAP analogues.
71.
Miss 50 said in other words whether Mr. Mace meant out of the 41 companies being looked at there were 27 companies which produced analogues for secretarial class.
72. SAT only.
Mr. Mace answered unless the companies produced analogues for
In those 27 oompanies all had SAT work.
