First get F.0. views t and then put Mr.

Tennyson's points to the Gov. I agree with him

159

in thinking that in any case there ought to be

some sort of formal procedure, and it also seems

to me objectionable that action should be depen-·

dent on an unanimous resolution of the Ex. C.

Apart from the possibility that any single

member of the Council (which includes two unof-

ficial members might embarrass the Govt. there

seems to me a constitutional objection to in-

vesting the members of the Ex.

f.

with any

personal power. They are there to advise the

Gov. He has to consult them before issuing Or-

ders in Council, but he need not follow their

advice though if he acts in a way contrary to

the advice of the majority he has to report to

the S. of S. The present proposal under which

he could only issue an order of Deportation

on a vote of the Council in which every member

has the same deciding power as himself seens

inadmissible.
