(a)
the information prepared as a matter
of routine for E.C.G.D. on import and
exchange control regulations and sub-
sequent changes in these regulations;
and
(b) the periodical economic reports which
overseas posts prepare and send to
<
various departments in Londont
be copied to it. The extra work
involved would at most be the actual
despatch to Hong Kong of a copy of
these papers.
(iii) The supply of information requested at
(a) above should present no security
(1)
problem, and if (b) raises difficulty
on security grounds, the information
could be sent direct to the Commerce and
o I'm Hong Tong Cover ment Industry Department/which, besides find-
ing such reports helpful anyway, could
be relied on to exercise discretion in
passing them on to the Corporationer to follow any instructions about passing the information
I myself am convinced that Hong Kong's
request is a reasonable one, especially as
British posts are being asked to provide Hong Kong
with no more than general economic intelligence
which is already being collected for E.C.G.D.

It cant be argued that the provision of
such information to Hong Kong would prove a
burden or that it would encourage other
Commonwealth countries to demand a similar service!
