Following the Secretary of State's decision to devote more resources to our Caribbean Dependent Territories we are working with the administration to ensure that DS candidates for posts in the DTS should be of a quality commensurate with Last the enhanced responsibility now falling to these posts. year, the PUS encouraged members of the Service to look more positively at appointments in the DTS and his words seem to have been heard to good effect. Certainly, I encounter greater interest in DT appointments now than was the case 12 months ago. In his letter of 1 July, Lord Wilson of Tillyorn argues that Hong Kong HMOCS officers should be given priority consideration for appointments in other DTs. The arguments that would give precedence to HK HMOCS officers for DT appointments which are, with the exception of Bermuda, now all on DS terms, are not, to me, obvious. I should add that in the Caribbean our recent experience of Hong Kong HMOCS has not been positive.
