1.
I realise your problem, but the loss and promotion of both Hong Kong's senior law officers was not foreseeable and creates a very serious problem for them.
2. I hope that you can explain this exceptional need to the Bermuda Government. There is certainly no intention by HMG to take actions detrimental
to Bermuda.
3.

}
advisers you decide that you need an outside
replacement, we will do our best to help. But
before Hobley was appointed, consideration had been
/given
