Whilst it is the normal practice for the Official Side and the Staff Side to accept the findings of the PIU Reports to be accurate without question, the S.A.T. Association put forward herewith our query regarding certain dis- crepancies within the PIU Report, solely in relation to the portion for S.A.T.

During the consultative meetings, Mr. Broadbridge, Principal Assistant Secretary (Civil Service)1P, confirmed five times that the 17 companies of 1976 PIU Report were out of the originated 24 companies as stipulated in 1973 and 1974 PIU Reports. The above confirmation revealed the existence of Manufacturing Company (Code No.22) in 1976 PIU Report not possible. Unfortunately, we had received no clarification from the Official Side in the previous meeting, in this aspect.
8.
As we have had no rigid answers in respect to the discrepancies as above-mentioned, and in order to generate a comprehensive knowledge towards the PIU Report for our Association's own analysis purpose, the S.A. T. Associ- ation had accordingly conducted a purvey covering the same private sectors as stipulated in the PIU Reports, focusing on particularly in manufacturing field. The result out coming is most annoyed as when compared with relevant details furnished to us, we are unable to locate Company No. 22 (Manufacturing) of the following secretarial structure in 1976:

Owing to the limited experience in survey and the data so far collected not fully proved, we therefore request clarification and should be grateful if the Official Side could identify Company No.22 in question.
