Деви Ледес,
1992 ANNUAL REPORT TO PARLIAMENT
1. Thank you for your letter about the timetable and contents list for this year's Report.
2.
I agree with your proposed timetable. It makes sense to wait until we can get the final figures for the key economic indicators, which effectively means aiming for publication in the first week of March.
3. On content, I think an additional section on the Governor's visits abroad would be worth including. And there is something to be said for sticking to the traditional ordr of items, unless there is good reason for changing the pecking order.
4.
Can we try to keep to the slightly shorter length which we produced last year, ie not more than eleven pages, including the foreward? Let us try and make essential facts and readability the order of the day!
5.
I shall continue to take an overall interest in the Report, but I have asked Sarah Haspel in this Section to be responsible for coordination at this end. So could you please arrange for the first draft to be sent to her?
Your eve Kay
