I AGREE THAT GIVEN THE FRAGMENTARY NATURE OF THE COMMENTS MADE BY REGAN, AUDSLEY AND JOHN HARRISON, THEY ARE BEST INCORPORATED IN A COMPREHENSIVE FOREWORD BY THE MINISTER FOR THE PUBLICATION OF OUR BRIEF AS A MARKET REPORT. I HOPE THAT IT WILL BE MADE CLEAR THAT OUR REPORT WAS WRITTEN BEFORE THE MISSION CAME TO HONG KONG. THERE IS NOTHING WHICH WE WISH TO RETRACT ALTHOUGH WE MIGHT PERHAPRS ADD TO PARAGRAPH 12 OR 13, THE POINT MADE BY JACK TANG THAT ''HONG KONG CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS OWN SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS IN THE REGION AND AS FAR AWAY AS MAURITIUS AND WEST AFRICAN WITH FABRIC PURCHASING DECIDED IN HONG KONG’’.

2. TAKING UP THE POINTS MADE BY REGAN, I SUGGEST THAT THE MINISTER CAN:-
