FURTHER ACTION.
Dear Mr. Morse,
As you may have heard from Mr. Sloss, it
was found that, through an oversight, the members of
the Provisional Powers Committee had not
technically been appointed. This matter was put
right on the 15th of November and subsequently
a meeting of Mr. Sloss, Mr. Caine and myself
was held on the 21st of November, in which we
formally adopted and confirmed authorisations given
at previous meetings. The minutes of this.meeting,
therefore, include details of decisions taken on
earlier occasions, and I enclose a copy for your
information.
With yourself and Mr. Sloss no longer here,
it is inappropriate that the Provisional Powers
Committee should continue to meet in London, and
we have proposed to Mr. Sloss, therefore, that, “as
the powers of the Committee may be exercised at a
meeting at which two members are present any
further meetings of the Committee which may be
necessary should take place in Hong Kong.
I hope that Mrs. Morse had a comfortable
journey out: I am sorry that we were not able to
do more here to facilitate her journey.
Yours sincerely,
(S&d.)
