Problem
+
1. To make arrangements to fill the post of Governor and
Commander-in-Chief, Belize, following the expiry of the present
Governor's three year term of office.
Recommendation
谢
2. I recommend that the Secretary of State should approve the
recommendation of the Dependent Territories Senior Appointments
Board (DTSAB) that the appointment of the present Governor,
Mr P D McEntee CMG OBE, should be extended for about six months,
and that the Private Secretary should then write to the Private
Secretary to Her Majesty on the lines of the attached draft,
seeking The Queen's approval to the extension.
Background
3. At their meeting on 4 June the DTSAB agreed on a number of
recommendations concerning the Governorships of Dependent
Territories. The submission of the bulk of these recommendations
is being delayed until after the No 1 Selection Board has considered
proposals for the promotion of two of the Diplomatic Service
officers involved. The No 1 Selection Board are due to hold their
next meeting on 13 July.
4.
However, the extension of Mr McEntees appointment needs to
be dealt with now, since his term of office expired at the end
