The Gap
12.
As can be seen from the above, the shortfall between available resources and the requirement for the 10-year period 1981-1990 is 21 (60 less 39).

The process of staffing Dependent Territory slots exclusively from the ranks of the Diplomatic Service should, however, be a gradual one.. Both for the sake of good administration and of the officers concerned, we should use, wherever possible, existing HMOCS and ex- -HMOCS talent.
