"my clear & information Thank your/lé

you for your letter of 22 April,

you

concerning the appointment and reappointment

of members of Executive Council and Legislative

Council in June next.

Following the useful

discussions we had about this at official

level and our later talk with Lord Shepherd, I hai write & cayerm

you can now take it that we accept your

proposals.

You will recall our consideration of the

difficult question of broadening the basis of

appointments to the Councils and Lord Shepherd's

request to you to reflect further on this

problem before next year's nominations have

to be decided. I have no doubt that in the

course of the further contacts we shall be

having over the next few months there will be

opportunities to review again the very limited

possibilities that appear to be open to us in

this matter.
