Mr. Mace said that it was normal for the basis of their work to be eliminated. The basis of Civil Service pay relied upon their organization. They did not have pressure from the Cfficial Side and relied entirely on the producing facts. The staff side mus not happy about the conclusion but it did not make the official Side happy either. Both Sides just accepted the evidence that they produced as fair. They were not hampered or directed by the Official Side.

The Chairman said he could confirm that it was the Official Side's practice to accept P13 reports.

Mrs. Cheung said that the Official Side would accept the PIU report without any question. She would like to know whether the Official Side would accept the PU to the extent that they would accept the median calculated without any question. At the same time, it had been said that the PIU was an independent unit but just before, r. Mace said that there were points of confusion in the report. In that case, would the Official Side still accept the report without any question.

The Chairman said PTU was only responsible for fact finding. Calculation of melian vas go interpretation of the fact which was done by the Civil Service Branch as agreed by the 3.0.6.6. He further added that PlU vas an independent unit and the Official Mide and the Staff Side had to rely on the facts produced by the PIU and it was the normal practice for them to accept the FIU reports without question. They also considered the PIU people were afficient and well experienced staff and the report produced was goourate and factual.

Mrs. Choung said if the PIU could produce accurate information, then how could there be points of confusion in the report which was produced some time ago.

Mr. Hiace said the trouble was with the 17 companies which came from the 41 rather than the 27. It was a minor point. He was of the opinion that the Steff Side was teking things too far in taking out paragraph 4 fron the FIU and implying that there weré any question at all about the validity of the statistic value. He was aware that in this particular survey, every company which provided information were sent back in writing a summary of the information they obtained in their visit, in so doing, it was to ensure that there was no error in their interpretation. He veo aure that everything: possible it been done and he must resist any imlication whatsoever that the data which were provided was in question.

Mrs. Cheung said from what had been said by Kr. Droadbridge during the last meeting and what had been pointed out by r. llaue in saying that 27 should be real 41, the Staff Side had reason to have doubts on the survey produced by the P. Then the Lfficial Side said it might be a very minor mistake and they might regard it as a typing mistake. As the Staf Side based everything on facts, they considered it was something very important and that was why they doubted the data. The number should be 27 or 41 certainly would affect the salary of the 400 SATS,
