The Chairman confirmed yes.
Miss V. So explained that they had to make sure that point simply because in the last meeting something confirmed by Mr. Eroadbridge five times and was regarded as mistake in this mceting. They then wanted to make sure that everything was right this time, otherwise they would loose faith in the meeting.

Miss V. So referred to paragraph 4 of the 1976 PIU Report under the heading cope of Survey:
47.
* In 1973, PIU conducted a Pay Survey of Typing, Secretarial, and Confidential (Clerical) Scrvices Staff. 41 Companies participated in the survey and analogues for Personal Assistant, Personal Secretary, Shorthand-Audio Typists and Typists were identified in 27 of them. These 27 companies were invitated to participate in this Survey and they all agreed to do so...
Mr. Mace said he had been warned that morning that it was the cause of confusion.
48.
Mr. Linthwaite emphasised that the 24 came out of original the 41 and the 17 came from the 41. They could not see that was an error. The error was made in last time saying that 17 came from the 24.

Mrs. M. Cheng said they were very disappointed to see that the PIU had made a mistake in their report since that roport was not the first one published by the PIU. She asked Mr. Mace vhat were the other mistakes in the report before they went on this meeting.

Mr. Mace said he better checked. The things was he was just told that morning. lie would give the Staff Side a written reply. It was really paragraph 4 that caused confusion. Both 17 and 24 came from 41 companies.
51.
kirs. H. Cheung would like to know whether there were other points of confusion in the Report. Since the Civil servants' pay rates based on the PIU report and now the PIU's Controller had doubts in the report, how could the Staff Side go on with the discussions with the Official Side and she further asked whether there were still points of confusion in the resort before they continued the meeting.
52.
Hr. Mace said there were no point of confusion in the factual data which they produced. What the Staff Side has just referred to was only extracted from the brief summary which was not really relevant to the finding. The factual data was absolutely accurate. if there were confusion or mistakes, he would check. Besides, these documents : were not prepared for arguement and cross-check like this.
53.
Mrs. . Cheung then asked was it necessary for the introduction to be accurate too.
