My telegram No. 1562 Confidential of 8th November.
Public Services Commission.
Much regret that, in the correspondence arising
from the use of the word "all" in para. 172 of the
Report of the Salaries Commission, your attention was
not drawn to the fact that there is a certain range
of posts (i.e. virtually all super scale posts) for
which I am committed to consider candidates throughout
the Colonial Service, and for which the Public Services
Commission could not be in a position to know the
field of suitable candidates.
CONSIDERATIONS
As I imagine that /consons. adduced in your
confidential letter Sec. 9/4518/49 of 16th June had
relation primarily to new entrants, I do not know
whether you would feel equal difficulty in excluding
PURVIEW
these senior "promotion" posts from the view of
the Committee (which would be the most satisfactory
arrangement from my point of view). If not, what
arrangement would you propose to ensure that
vacancies in such posts are in fact referred to me
in such a way that local resentment would not be
caused if and when I select a candidate from elsewheret even when a competent bot
Candidate has been recommended to the Commistion?.
