seen by someone, but that it would probably not be

possible to give him any further information yet.

The Inspector-General's action is rather

unusual but presumably he telephoned his London

Office because Mr. Clunie's leave has already expired

and no doubt he thought that if his recommendation

was accepted that Mr. Clunie could proceed direct

to Hong Kong. As it happens however Mr. Clunie is

still on sick leave and is due to be re-examined

by the Consulting Physician to the Colonial Office

in Edinburgh about the 22nd of December, and it is

highly improbable that he will leave this country

in any case before the beginning of January, so that

there is no immediate hurry. I think however that

we might send a telegraphic reminder to Palestine

reference (34) informing them that it is understood

from the Palestine Police London Office that the

Inspector-General has recommended Mr. Clunie for

transfer to Hong Kong and asking for confirmation and

also whether they are recommending any other

candidates. We might also remind Ceylon by telegram

reference (33).

As Mr. Clunie is coming down specially from

York and as we may later have to make a selection

from a few candidates it might be as well therefore

if you were to see him and record your impressions

as we have very little information about him here.
