GOVERNOR, ST HELENA AND DEPENDENCIES

Type 1 +

From

Telephone No. Ext.

Department

DSR 11

1. The present Governor, Mr G C Guy, has been in office

since December 1976 and his term is due to expire in

December 1979.

2. Because of St Helena's extreme isolation, few resources

and the people's deep attachment to Britain, there is almost

no chance of it (together with its dependencies, Ascension

Island and Tristan da Cunha) becoming independent.

The

Territory needs new ideas for development and continuity of

management to help these gain acceptance. Mr Guy has a wide

range of experience, particularly in the spheres of develop-

ment, budgetary matters and staff management in small islands.

He is fascinated with this Territory's very special problems

and is tackling them enthusiastically. His previous service

as Administrator of Ascension Island increases his worth in

St Helena.

3. It is recommended that Mr Guy's term of office should be

extended until December 1980.
