Visit of Parliamentary Under-Secretary Mr Royle, to Hong Kong, October, 1970.
NOTE NO.12
Level at which Promotions of Staff should be referred to the Secretary of State for approval.
Points to be made
1. At a suitable moment explain that this question has been reconsidered and that there now seems to be no reason why the original Hong Kong proposals should not be agreed to (subject to the points about MOCS and the few posts carrying tir o-scale salaries on which specific approval would still be required).
