I must say I am surprised by the first and second paragraphs of Mr Farran's comment. I do not understand the logic of hiz paragraph 1 and if CDM only agreed that aid work should remain with HKD on the basis of it remaining a joint department I should be glad to be enlightened as to why we made a fuss about keeping the end work. Perhaps we could discuss this on Mr Milton's return.
