RECORD OF A MEETING ON 4 NOVEMBER, 1968,

IN LORD SHEPHERD'S OFFICE

Present: Lord Shepherd

Mr. Dhun J. Ruttonjee

Mr. Godden

Mr. Gaminara.

Ombudsman

5.

Mr. Ruttonjee thought that the success or failure of

such an appointment in Hong Kong would depend very largely on the extent of the powers given to the ombudsman. It would be

essential for the latter to be responsible direct to the Governor and to no one else in the Colony.
