I should be grateful if the Secretary of States' approval could be obtained for the appointment of Mr. Robert Fell to the post of Commissioner for Securities, Hong Kong, which is currently vacant following the resignation of Mr. U.A. McInnes.
Mr. Fell, who is the Chief Executive of the London Stock Exchange, will be appointed for six months only while arrangements are made to fill the vacancy on a more permanent
basis.
In view of the need to replace Mr. McInnes as quickly as possible, Mr. Fell's loan was arranged personally by Sir Philip Haddon-Cave so that we do not have a formal application for Mr. Fell or a curriculum vitae covering his career. However, you will note from the enclosed copy of Mr. Fell's entry in 'Who's Who' that he served in the U.K. Civil Service for many years so that his records must be readily available.
The Hong Kong Government will reimburse the London Stock Exchange for Mr. Fell's salary of £47000 per annum or £3,833 per month payable in arrears. First Class return passages will be provided for Mr. Fell and his wife plus hotel accomm- odation during his period of duty in Hong Kong.
The approval of the Hong Kong Public Services Commission is also being sought. Medical examination, passage, etc., will be organised by this office
