7.
Length of Term of Office of Governors (Brief number 7 refers)
Lord Balniel said that a three year term of office might help to
get younger people into small Governorships; the Chief Clerk said
it would also be easier to make Diplomatic Service officers available
on secondment to the Dependent Territories for three years rather
than five.
8.
The Board recommended that except in the case of Hong Kong
in future the normal term of appointment of a Governor should be
three years in the first instance.
