Appointments to Legco and Exco
1. You may wish to be aware of the attached telegram from
Sir Denys Roberts to Sir Murray Maclehose about a new vacancy that will probably arise on Legco at the end of next month (and which may also lead to a further vacancy on Exco). This should provide the
Governor with scope to move towards broadening the social base of UMELCO while maintaining all of his original recommendations: it will be interesting therefore to see what proposals he makes for filling these
I do not know anything about the two people
additional vacancies.
mentioned in paragraph 10. "Harilela" is presumably Mr H N Harilela JP, a businessman and presumably, to judge by his name, of Indian origin. I have not been able to identify a Miss Chang in any of the usual reference lists who would seem a likely Legco candidate.
