Following Strictly Personal for Governor and
HI Ambassador, Copenhagen, from Permanent Under-
Secretary »
We have been considering the best timing for
the announcement that Murray Maclehose will succeed
you next October. Subject to your views, we think
that it would be as well to make the announcement ·
at the same time as you leave Hong Kong on
17 October.
This would be helpful in forestalling
speculation and concern as well as possible leaks.
Koreover Hir, Royle would be able to discuss the
appointment, in strict confidence, with the long
Kong Council during his visit there earlier in the
month.
