YOUR LETTER HKK 14/17 OF 16 AUGUST.

LETTER FROM MR HAROLD WILSON'S OFFICE.
(133) +137)
I SUGGEST A REPLY TO MR WILSON'S OFFICE TO THE EFFECT THAT MRS
ELLIOTT HAS IN THE PAST MADE A NUMBER OF ALLEGATIONS AGAINST STAFF
OF THE FORMER RESETTLEMENT DEPARTMENT. THESE ALLEGATIONS RANGED
FROM MALPRACTICE IN THE ALLOCATION OF PREMISES OR SHOP SPACES TO
IRREGULARITIES IN THE PROMOTION OF ALLEGEDLY UNSUITABLE OFFICERS.
ALL THE ALLEGATIONS HAVE BEED FULLY INVESTIGATED BY THE
RESETTLEMENT DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS THE ANTI-CORRUPTION OFFICE AND
NONE COULD BE SUBSTANTIATED. IF MRS ELLIOTT PROVIDES DETAILS OF
PARTICULAR ALLEGATIONS, THEY WILL BE INVESTIGATED. UNFORTUNATELY
THE INFORMATION IN HER LETTER OF 29 JUNE IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY
DETAILED TO PROVIDE THE BASIS FOR AN INVESTIGATION.
