M.2
Sir Pátr
Pátrick,
C
I respectfully agree that M.1 and the draft you kindly
passed to me on 13 October provide thorough and sound structure
for the report.
2.
The 'General Considerationg paragraph may be an appropriate
place to express our opinion on the response to the consultation.
Attached please find some of my thoughts for your consideration. (at Float)
3.
With reference to paragraph 5(a) of M.1, it may be of use
to cite the number of submissions received by the Assessment Office
before and after announcement of the change in treatment on the
confidentiality issue. This reflects on the public reaction to this
problem.
4.
Generally I feel that it may be proper for us to touch
upon our own reflection on public opinion. Unless we have a general
concept of the public opinion, it is difficult for us to express
our opinion on the report by CAO on the various points set out in M.l.
