Many thanks for your letter of 20 February about
appointments to the Hong Kong Bench.
Both this problem and the question of the appointment
and calibre of magistrates in Hong Kong (which we
discussed briefly in December) are of course matters
which closely concern the Chief Justice of the day.
This appointment is itself under consideration
since, as you say, Sir Ivo Rigby is due to retire very soom. this year.
I hope that an announcement on this question can be
made shortly. I also hope that you will accept this
letter as an interim reply until this central question
has been settled. I will write to you again as soon
as possible thereafter.
