Sir G. Fiddes
am sorry to go against the Gov.
it is
but as we havņi laid down the general polloy that
save in very exceptional circumstances desirable that unofficial members of Council
should not be re-appointed for more than one
11
period (making 12 years in all ) and as Mr.
Wei Yuk has already been appointed for two per-*
h
lods (making 18 years in all ) I do not think
we should agree to his re-appointment for a fur-
ther period even of three years. A three year
appt. might entail some amendment of the exist-
ing Instruments, but I need not go into that for
the moment. Having given Sir Kai Ho Kal notice
to quit on the grounds of general principle quo-
ted above, it would be very awkward to re-appoint
Wel Yuk in defiance of it. The Gov. can explain
to Wel Muk that his non-reappointment is taken
not at all on personal grounds but on the prin-
ciple recently laid down by the S. of S. and he
would no doubt retire, like Sir Kai Ho Kai, in a
blaze of complimenta.
