abolished and a new post of Secretary created to head a new

Branch of the Government Secretariat. This new Branch will

take over from the Economic Services Branch policy

responsibility for trade and industry and several other

subjects. No firm decision has yet been taken on which

Branch of the Government Secretariat should assume

responsibility for the Customs and Controls Department,

but Security Branch and Finance Branch are two obvious

candidates.

8.

At the same time, it has been decided that

all directorate posts in the new Trade and Industry Departments

should be converted to Staff Grade posts in the Adminis-

trative Service, while directorate posts in the new Customs

and Controls Department will be progressively converted

to professional departmental posts. It will take some

time to work out detailed arrangements to implement these

decisions, but the intention is that the new Branch and

departments should be operational by July 1982.

Standing Committee on Directorate Salaries and Conditions of Service (Ross Committee)

9.

The Ross Committee has completed its 8th overall

review of the directorate and submitted a report to the

Governor on 2 April 1982. Its recommendations cover the

appropriate gradings of the former PWD Sub-departments and

the Lands Department; the re-ranking of a number of directorate

posts; the possible use of personal ranking in exceptional

circumstances to accommodate outstanding directorate officers
