aware that the BBC WS will be under particularly tight funding constraints in 1990/91 due to increased running costs. This will mean postponement of some capital spending, but we also need to look hard at low priority vernaculars for possible savings.

I propose that we meet at 2.15 pm in my office (OAB G/108) to finalise our approach to this review before the BBC join us at 2.30 pm. The review should end about 4.30 pm.
We will aim to cover HKD's and FED's parishes by 3.30 pm.
I should be grateful if you would let my PA (tel no 210 6159) know whether you will be attending yourself or sending a representative. If you have any major points to iron out before the meeting, would you contact David Beaney (tel no 210 6112).
