I AM CONTENT TO PRODUCE A REPORT IN THE FORM YOU SUGGEST. INDEED, SINCE THE MAIN BODY OF THE REPORT WILL INCLUDE THE MAIN POINTS IN MY ANNUAL ADDRESS TO LEGCO, I DOUBT IF IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO INCLUDE THE ADDRESS AS AN ANNEX TO THE REPORT. THIS WOULD MAKE THE REPORT ''FREE STANDING. IT WOULD THEN SUFFICE IF A COPY OF MY ADDRESS, TOGETHER WITH THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY'S BUDGET SPEECH AND HALF-YEARLY ECONOMIC REVIEW, WERE LAID IN THE LIBRARY OF THE HOUSE.

2. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO LET YOU HAVE A DRAFT OF THE REPORT BY THE

END OF OCTOBER.

3. I DO NOT EXPECT THAT UMELCO WOULD WISH TO SEND A REPRESENTATIVE GROUP TO LONDON FOR THE ANNUAL REPORT TO PARLIAMENT. HOWEVER, UMELCO WILL CERTAINLY WISH TO SEND A DELEGATION WHEN THE DRAFT NATIONALITY

ORDER IN COUNCIL IS DEBATED.
