We should add that we trust that it will indeed be found possible by administrative action to ensure that a sufficient proportion are remitted to the Secretary of State. (In this connection I note that at the end of paragraph 3 of (4) the Governor speaks of remission to the Secretary of State by the Commission. Will not the remission to the Secretary of State be by the Governor after the Commission has informed him that it cannot fill the vacancies locally?).
3. Reference paragraph 6 of (4), I see no objection to the Governor's suggestion and in our reply I think we may confirm that there would be no objection to amendment of this section of the draft Bill in the sense suggested.
41. The papers vide Sir Thomas Lloyd's minute of 30/4 and the penultimate paragraph of (2) should go to Ministers.

Since (1) the Governor thinks that he can by administrative action ensure that a sufficient. number of vacancies in the Administrative and Police Services are remitted to the secretary of state and since (2) the Governor things that for some time to cone there are unlikely to be any large number of suitable local candidates for the higher posts in these Services, I think that we must probably acquiesce in the line which Jir a. Grantham wishes to follow in this matter.
As to the detailed points about the Public Services Commission Bill, it is clear that the Governor accepts all the points which we made in the enclosure to No. 2. As to the question raised in paragraph 6 of the letter, we can, I think, agree with what Sir A. Gruntham proposes.
