As the Governor has explained in his telegram No 425
of 49 May, the appointments would involve an increase
of 1 official and 1 unofficial in Legislative Council
This would necessitate amendment of paragraph 13 of
the Royal Instructions The Governor considers that
an increase is justified in view of the workload. If
as I recommend, Ministers agree to this increase, I
will arrange for the submission to the Privy Council
of an amendment to the Royal Instructions. The next
meeting of the Privy Council has not yet been fixed,
but Legal Executive Branch have confident hopes that
it will take place before 1 July. They have given
the Deputy Clerk preliminary notice of our interest.
6.8. recommend that Ministers approve the nomi-
nations of the Governor, and the submission to the
Frivy Council of amendments to the Royal Instructions
to cover the increase in numbers.
