Hr. Dorward said the community in general was in debt to the
members of the Textiles Advisory Board, whose members must rank among
the finest public servants, paid or unpaid, in Hong Kong.
"They give freely of their time and advice and often leave their
own business interests at short notice to travel across the world with
one of our delegations so that, as a negotiation proceeds, we officials
can break off and consult our advisers at short notice," he said.
On occasions, he added, the entire board, about 14-strong, has
gone off to Washington or London to be available for immediate consultation
during major negotiations.
