SECRET

CAUS?

ACCEPT THIS SORT OF EVIDENCE: THE PUBLIC WILL COMPLAIN BECAUSE

THE CORRUPT ARE AGAIN BEING LET OFF SO LIGHTLY. THIS DEVELOPMENT

IS YET A FURTHER ARGUMENT IN FAVOUR OF ANNOUNCING PROSECUTIONS, RETIREMENTS AND REINSTATEMENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY. WE EXPECT TO BE

READY TO ACT IN 2 WEEKS; ASSUMING YOU CAN KEEP TO YOUR HERO IC DEADLINE.

DISCIPLINARY PROCEEDINGS: HUTCHISON HOUSE.

5. THE CP HAS REACHED HIS DECISION ON THE APPEALS BY EIGHT

OF THE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE HUTCHISON HOUSE

DISCIPLINARY CASES. HE HAS DECIDED THAT THE APPEALS SHOULD BE

DISMISSED AND THE ORIGINAL FINDINGS UPHELD. STEPS TO NOTIFY

ALL THE APPELLANTS OF THE OUTCOME OF THEIR APPEALS ARE BEING

TAKEN AT ONCE, RECENTLY THIS CASE HAS NOT FEATURED PROMINENTLY

AMONGST JPOA CONCERNS AND WE HOPE THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ANY

STRONG ADVERSE REACTION. WE INTEND TO PLAY IT IN LOW KEY.

6. IN MY TELNO 266 WE PROMISED A FURTHER ASSESSMENT OF THE JPO A LEADERSHIP. THIS FOLLOWS IN MIFT.
