TOP COPY Q DIST?
1. I SHOULD LET YOU KNOW THAT SIR M QUINLAN HAS WRITTEN TO THE PUS WELCOMING THE FACT THAT THE NEW CBF WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE HIS PLACE ON EXCO TOWARDS THE END OF THIS MONTH. HE AGREES THAT IT WOULD BE SENSIBLE TO ALLOW THE NEW GOVERNOR TO TAKE HIS OWN DECISIONS ON THE COMPOSITION OF EXCO. HOWEVER, HE HAS EMPHASISED THAT HE WOULD NOT WANT THE NEW GOVERNOR'S CONSIDERATION TO BE RESTRICTED PURELY TO THE ISSUE OF TIMING. THE MOD AGREE TO LOOK AGAIN THIS ISSUE WHEN THE NEW GOVERNOR HAS HAD TIME TO COME TO A VIEW.
