that it is sensible to seek the Treasury Solicitor's Department's advice on the position in the UK before we go any frother. I have made some purely cosmetic changes in No Rushford's draft. I have also discussed with him the statement in his para 3 that the Orders - Connal establishing the D.S. and the Home Civil Service do not have legislative force - i.e. that Estacode and DSR/DSP are not legally binding. He confirmed that this was indeed his understanding of the case: and DSR/DSP are
