Singh's excellent record and qualifications has been passed over.
I am informed that it came as a great shock to him, and that he
has taken it very much to heart, especially as he had planned
on retiring on pension within a few years. I submit his appeal
for favourable consideration, and would invite your attention
to the fifth paragraph of Mr. Bendall's covering minute. The
adoption of this suggestion would overcome the anomalous position
that would be created by the confirmation of Mr. Roylance's
appointment to Class II, S.C. & A.S. (Local Section) in the
same office.
