23rd July, 1969.

Dear Hillsfan,

Many thanks for your letter HKK 14/8 dated 1st July, and for the thorough research into the questions raised by the Commissioner of Police.

I think they may have to do some head- scratching about the associated enterprises as the grant of the title "Royal" in individual cases would tend to indicate

separateness rather than the derivative effect desired.

(E.O. Plunkett)

P.S.

Have I caught the experts napping?

Saved! This was in fact, approved by HM last month, but was only make public on 23 July.

I don't think OPM has become "post nominal", flattering as it is to see it!
