Secretary, British Inspectors
Committee.
With reference to a nemo. dated 12.3.47 from the Chairman in your absence, I have given consideration to the deferment of impending promotions.
2.
It is necessary for the stability of the Force that the vacancies in the senior ranks should be filled by audstant- ive promotione as soon as possible and I am unable to accept the suggestion that they should be deferred.
3.
Candidates for the rank of Chief Inspector are considered by a board of the five most senior gazetted officers in the Police Force. Recommendations are made by this board to me on a directive given by me and any promotions made will be my responsibility as a matter for which I am responsible to
Government.
