AND
(ii) Sub-para (b). Mr Morrice said that it had now been
agreed that the post of Deputy Governor, Bermuda,
should be a training post. The FCO were awaiting word
from St Helena and the Falkland Islands about
training posts in these territories. Mr Russell
suggested that a supernumerary post might be
established in the Caymans. Mr Hennessy thought
that the Deputy Governor's post in Belize might also
be included. Mr Morrice noted that the latter was
not an HMOCS post and that no funds were available
at present for the former.
(iii) Sub-para (c) was noted.
(iv)
Sub-para (d). Governors supported the notion of short
term attachments provided these were carefully
explained to local governments as training secondments.
In the case of Montserrat it might be difficult
to identify a suitable job slot. Mr Edwards
suggested that in suitable territories the post of
Development Officer might be up-graded and used for
training purposes.
(v) Sub-para (e). The meeting agreed that short preparatory
attachments in WIAD would be useful. Mr Edwards
said that long term posting in DevDiv would not be
practicable. DevDiv posts, requiring wide-ranging
experience of the arrangement of aid programmes, could not
be filled by people without relevant experience.
Short term attachments might work however.
