Thank you for (who is at present on leav
1/6 of 10 JanurrY
194eries and dong CASE
the document should not be r would be published if acter
of 6 June 1978 to hobin hclaren
ilc ouglas-home's despatch now i ta en out of the "'ersonal"
c note your wish that rblic, though presumably it
2. in considering this rubject we have realised that the despatch is ambiguous in that it does not indicate whether the designation extencs to an acting zinancial: ecretary, though, in view of .125(2)(b) or the Constitution, you may have assumed it should be inter reted in this way. e should like to get rid of the doubt by issuing a new desnatch that specifies whether or not the designation should extend to an acting Financial ecretary, and should be gretful for your advice on which option to adopt. If you decide that the Commission should cover an acting Financial Recretary, you may feel that the further nomination of the Speaker is superfluous.
