South African Anti-Dumping Legislation
South Africa wrote to Hong Kong just before David Jorden left for the U.K., but as yet there has been no South African reply to Hong Kong's formal letter.

Channel Islands and the Isle of Man
It was agreed that unless we informed Hong Kong to the contrary, she should regard the Isle of Man as falling within U.K. Quota restrictions, and the Channel Islands as falling outside them. A decision from the Customs and Excise is still outstanding, but seems likely to agree with the above position.
8. Irish Textile Restrictions
Mr. Jørdan expressed the hope that though this matter had been dropped from the Agenda of the Anglo-Irish Economic Committee, it would not be cropped by this department. He did, however, accept that the timing was unfavourable at present, to raise this matter with the Irish.
