DETAILED GAD AND ODA COMMENTS ON YOUR DRAFT BILL AND
REGULATIONS FOLLOW BY BAG LEAVING FCO 7 MARCH. APOLOGIES FOR THE
DELAY BUT WE AND HKD'S LEGAL ADVISERS HAVE BEEN HEAVILY INVOLVED
IN JLG PREPARATIONS THIS WEEK. WE SHALL THEREFORE AIM TO DISCUSS
YOUR DRAFT IN MORE DETAIL WITH LEGAL ADVISERS EARLY IN WEEK

2. AS YOU WILL APPRECIATE, WE HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY WITH YOUR

SECRETARY OF STATE'S POWERS. THIS ASPECT (AND YOUR PROPOSAL TO
REMOVE REFERENCES TO THE SECRETARY OF STATE FROM EXISTING PENSION
LEGISLATION: WILLIS' LETTER OF 14 JANUARY TO NEWBY, ON WHICH ODA HAVE SOUGHT OUR ADVICE) RAISES ISSUES COMPARABLE TO THOSE
