The list would of course be amended regularly and its existence would not preclude ad hoc consultation on other cases.

5. I have discussed this list with CSAD and NENAD. The former feel that Mozambique and Zambia should be added.

Other departments may also wish to suggest additions, while bearing in mind that the object of the exercise is to reduce the flow of paper round Whitehall rather than to increase it.
