1.
You will remember Carter's request to you of April 1969 for assistance in connection with the proposal that there might be the occasional appointment from the Bar to the Bench in Hong Kong. Since then, it has been agreed that even where there is a Service candidate suitable for promotion to the Supreme Court Bench it may occasionally be desirable to advance someone from the Hong Kong Bar who has had
.tensive experience of private practice.
3. We have recently had a saving despatch from Hong Kong about this and I am enclosing a copy. I am also enclosing
I have a copy of my letter to Holmes of 4 November 1970. colted the Department's legal adviser about this and I think I cannot do better than enclose a copy of his views on the Hong Kong Government's proposal to issue a circular. e in the Department very much agree with Sir J McPetrie Lat me would be glad of your views before we reply to the Hong Kong saving despatch.
