As to the future, the Governor said he was not clear how the FCO intended to "monitor" the programmes laid down in the Planning Paper. He suggested that the two monthly letters from Branch Secretaries/Heads of Department to the Assitant in the Department, a practice instituted during Mr Stuart's time as Head of what was HKIOD, might serve as a vehicle for monitoring progress. (I confess that before going to Hong Kong I had not been in the habit of digesting these reports but will endeavour to do so in future with a view to assessing whether they might meet the monitoring requirement.)
