I have the honour to inform you that I have appointed Mr G. R.

Herries, OBE, MC.

This Chamber nominated Mr Herries to replace Mr Ross, and Mr Herries was appointed from 1st July. The Chamber was later invited to nominate one of their members willing to serve on the Legislative Council during Mr Herries' absence and Mr Ross was nominated.
