As
you said, Sir,
Except for a short break for the 1985-86 $ession, Mr. Jeaffreson has been a Member of this Council since 1976, first as Secretary for Economic Services and more recently as Secretary for Security. His wide range of responsibilities as Secretary for Security have made him one of the most put-upon Members of this Council: in an attempt to satisfy our almost insatiable curiosity about arson, blackmail, robbery and other
in fact le subjects, he has had to answer more questions last Session and
л le so far this session than any other Official Member; and he has
this successfully steered through the Council numerous complex
pieces of legislation on immigration policy and penal reform. In a field where the decisions and explanations that have to be made are often difficult and painful, he has shown sincerity, Sensitivity and humaneness; in his frequent meetings with the Legislative Council Légco ad hoc groups and the Security Panel he has been
unfailingly patient, understanding and forthcoming.

Council and in the Secretariat: we wish him and his wife
Elisabeth the greatest happiness and success in the future.
