Your Excellency.

There are two ways Brimble might be dealt with, Bis

salary is over £100 a year, Therefore he might be tried before

Executive Council though such a course would be unusual as be

could only be tried for an offence against discipline only, Cr

he wight be recommended to the Secretary of State for reduction

or dismissal, The Secretary of State can of course, for the

Crown, deal with any Civil Servant,

When I gave my opinion 5.9.02 1 construed "representation"

to mean"recommendation".
