Mr. Rayner will be making contact with the local representatives of the Company on his return. I trust that similar arrangements for close co-operation can be made between the Regional Information Office and the Malayan Department of Broadcasting. Broadcasting is clearly one of the most valuable means of carrying out the work for which the Regional Information Office was set out, and it is of the greatest importance that this means should be used to the maximum possible extent.
Paragraph 12(f); Representative of the Regional Information Office in Hong Kong
Since the memorandum was prepared approval has been obtained for this new appointment, and steps are now being taken to select a suitable candidate.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
