§ 89. Captain Kerbyasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies in view of the need to attract to, and retain in, Her Majesty's Oversea Civil Service suitable officers from this country, what steps he is taking to ensure that experienced officers of that service are placed in posts in Britain in which they can directly tender advice to Her Majesty's Government on all important questions of policy and that the present system under which such advice from officers of the Oversea Civil Service must pass through the Home Civil Service shall be terminated.
§ Mr. Lennox-BoydI attach great importance to ensuring that the experience of suitably qualified members of the Over-sea Civil Service continues to be made available in London in as direct a form 125W as is practicable, and a relatively large number of appointments and postings have been made to this end.
