Her Majesty's Government are co-operating with the Secretary General in an investigation to determine the scope for additional economic and technical assistance for these three territories. A team comprising two persons nominated by the Secretary General and one person nominated by Her Majesty's Government will be visiting the territories later this month for this purpose. The Mission's report will be made to Her Majesty's Government. Copies of it will simultaneously be available to the Secretary General and to the Governments of the three territories. Her Majesty's Government are bearing the costs of the visit.
