FROM GOVERNOR.
YOUR TELNO 1456 EXCO APPOINTMENTS.
1
THANK YOU FOR THE POINTS IN TUR. WE ARE USING THE FORMULA 'DURING THE PERIOD OF HER MAJESTY'S PLEASURE'.

باك
IT HAS OCCURRED TO US THAT IT WOULD BE SENSIBLE TO AMEND THE APPOINTMENTS OF LADY DUNN AND MR.WILLIAM PURVES TO ACCORD WITH THOSE OF THE NEW MEMBERS OF EXCO. THIS MEANS REVOKING THEIR PRESENT APPOINTMENTS, WHICH HAVE A FIXED TERM, AND REAPPOINTING THEM ACCORDING TO THE NEW FORMULA.
3. IF YOU SEE NO PROBLEM WITH THIS, GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD SEEK THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S FORMAL APPROVAL FOR THE CHANGES. IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO RECEIVE THIS DESKBY 07003OZ IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, BECAUSE OF OUR DEADLINES FOR GAZETTE NOTIFICATION. BUT IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, WE CAN DEAL WITH THEM SEPARATELY FROM THE NEW APPOINTMENTS.
