TELEGRAM NUMBER 751 OF 18 AUGUST
FOR CLIFT FROM GREWAL
REF HKA 431/13
HKG D
MARTIN ROWLANDS IN HIS LETTER OF 11 FEBRUARY 1981 SUGGESTED THAT
THERE MIGHT WELL BE SUITABLE HMO CS OFFICERS IN HONG KONG INTERESTED IN POSTINGS IN OTHER DEPENDENT TERRITORIES, AND IN YOUR REPLY OF - 10 MARCH YOU CONFIRMED THAT YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BEAR HK IN MIND
AS A POSSIBLE SOURCE.
2. ACCORDING TO PAGE 4 OF YOUR LETTER OF 30 DECEMBER 1980 SOME VACANCIES WERE FORECAST TO ARISE IN 1981 (DEPUTY GOVERNOR, BERMUDA: GOVERNOR, BVI: GOVERNOR, CAYMAN ISLANDS) BUT I CANNOT TRACE HAVING RECEIVED THE USUAL LETTER ASKING WHETHER WE HAVE ANY
NOMINATIONS. THE ONLY RECENT SUCH ENQUIRY WAS FOR COLONIAL TREASURER,
ST HELENA.
3. I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD CHECK THAT WE HAVE NOT
BEEN OVERLOOKED: IF THERE ARE ANY CURRENT EXERCISES COULD WE PLEASE BE CONSULTED BY TELEX AND WE WILL MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO REPLY SWIFTLY. WE HAVE IN FACT HAD AN ENQUIRY ABOUT THE BERMUDA VACANCY FROM ALAN SCOTT.
