It is unlikely that the Committee will publish a report on the whole visit, for which in any case there was no single theme. They may well publish a short report on the visit to Hong Kong in relation to British Forces there.

3.

PCCU and FED have acknowledged the Tokyo reporting. There is no reason to write to Hong Kong, where the arrangements were made by the military. There is no PCCU point to pick up

on the Washington reports.
