a submission by the Head of Hong Kong
Department on new appointments to the
Legislative Council,
a note, also by the Head of the Department,
summarising the state of play in
correspondence we have been having
with the Governor about widening the
field of selection for such appointments.
Mr. Wilford and myself have both endorsed Mr. Laird's
recommendations and added some comments of our own. In brief,
our recommendations are that we should accept the Governor's
recommendations for appointment for a term ending in
December 1971 and that we should continue to explore with
the Governor the possibility of widening the field of
selection with a view to giving guidance on this to his
successor, to whom it would fall to make the recommendations
for appointments after December 1971.
I agree
