Lord De La Warr,
I agree that we should proceed, by the
stages that Sir G. Tomlinson suggests, to the
selection of a Senior Inspector of Schools, and that
the question of the transfer (and replacement) of
the present Director of Education should stand over
for the time being.
As regards point A in Mr. Mayhew's minute,
we shall have to be careful what we say to candidates
for the Inspectorship about the possibility of
subsequent promotion to the post of Director.
People who are given hints of that kind are apt to
read more into them than is intended. We must
clearly avoid saying anything that could conceivably
be twisted into a "pledge".
? Proceed as proposed.
