LEGAL AND JUDICIAL STAFFING IN THE DEPENDENT TERRITORIES IN THE 1980s

LEGAL.

Flas A.

1. Wr Stewart has asked me to show you his copy of Mr Duff's letter of 23 June to Sir Bruce Greatbatch in the DEVDIV in Bridgetown. (We do not have a copy of the correspondence to which Mr Duff refers in his letter).

2. The first sub-paragraph in paragraph 3 of Mr Duff's letter is relevant so far, as you are concerned. We in HKGD are wondering whether the evidence existent in the ODM of a "Corps of Specialists" in the judicial field has been taken into account in the proposals that you put to the Legal Adviser in your minute of 15 June. I should be grateful if you would let me know the answer in time for a meeting that the PUS is now thinking of holding on 11 July about staffing in the Dependent Territories in the 1980s.
