BRITISH UNDERTAKINGS

MR SAINSBURY IS STILL CONSIDERING THE LIST OF

THE FIRMS DISCUSSED AND AGREED BY THE ADVISORY GROUP AT

THE MEETING OF 29 JANUARY. WE WILL LET YOU (AND OF COURSE THE SBTC) KNOW AS SOON AS HE HAS APPROVED 1T, SO THAT THE FIRMS CAN BE ADDED TO THE LIST WHICH MINISTERS HAVE ALREADY APPROVED (MY

TELNO 33).

2. WE DO NOT EXPECT THIS PROCESS TO TAKE MUCH LONGER AND CERTAINLY EXPECT IT TO BE POSSIBLE TO PUBLISH THE LIST, AFTER THE GOVERNOR HAS APPROVED IT, BEFORE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

3.

ANY REMAINING FIRMS, HOWEVER, WILL HAVE TO BE SUBMITTED PUBLISHED AT A LATER DATE, ALONG WITH ANY NEW CASES WHICH EMERGE.
