STAFF IN CONFIDENCE

Secretary around the middle of this year if he is going to take over as Chief Justice in March of next year.

7. One problem will be to find a suitable replacement for Mr Cater. I am inclined to think that Mr Alan Scott is probably the most suitable candidate but this is not something which we should or need dictate to Sir Murray. It will however be necessary to remind Sir Murray of the political sensitivities of this appointment and ask him to let us have his views on a

successor.

Action

8. If the PUS and Chief Clerk agree with the line in this minute, I will draft accordingly. Perhaps in view of the change over of Chief Clerk the letter might best issue from

the PUS.
