§ Mr. CookThe Corporation has decided to dispense with the post of Chief Scientific Officer and the present holder will be leaving within the next few months on the normal redundancy terms.
His Majesty's Government have decided that, as the new Chairman is to be resident in East Africa, and in view of the reduction in the scope of the scheme, a separate post of Chief General Manager is no longer required. The holder of that post will, therefore, be leaving within the next few months on normal redundancy terms.
142WThe Chief Agricultural Adviser to the Corporation has also asked to be released, because he feels that the reduced size and scope of the work of the Corporation no longer justify his post, which is being abolished. He is on a fixed contract and has been granted one year's salary, plus three months' earned leave.
