MOTES FOR SUPPLEMENTARIES
1.
If the Minister is asked why we should not force the pace,
the anser is that we can only act on requests for staff which the
Hong Kong Government make, but that Dr. Watts will be only too glad
to discuss further staff requirements with the Hong Kong authorities.
2.
If, on the other hand, the Minister is asked why the Hong
Kong authorities should not aot with more despatch, the answer is
that it is important to establish as carefully as possible what
exactly Hong Kong's future requirements are.
3. It is possible that the questioner has some particular cas0
of delay in appointment in mind. If the Minister is asked why there
is any delay in making appointments in the field of technical education
for Hong Kong, the answer is that generally speaking there is no delay
beyond what is customary in advertising and selecting suitable
candidates, although we have experienced some difficulty in filling
a post in word technology
two posts in the textiles field.
