LEGRAM NUMBER 372 OF 2 APRIL
YOUR TELNO 327: NATIONALITY BILL : PQ ON CROWN SERVICE BY MR
JOHN TILLEY.
MY TELEGRAM 366 OF 1 APRIL. SOME DOUBT HAS BEEN EXPRESSED AS TO THE ANSWER GIVEN ON APPOINTED MEMBERS OF STATUTORY BOARDS (CATEGORY F). IT HAS NOW BEEN SUGGESTED THAT SINCE THESE APPOINTMENTS ARE
MADE BY THE GOVERNOR THEN THEY MIGHT BE REGARDED AS HAVING BEEN
MADE ON BEHALF OF THE CROWN. IF YOU SHARE THIS VIEW THEN YOU WILL
WISH TO KNOW THAT THE NUMBER OF SUCH APPOINTMENTS IS ESTIMATED AT
BETWEEN 800 AND 1,000 IN ALL.
