§ Mr. Carmichaelasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what plans he has to indemnify the Governor and Trustee of the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia against personal liabilities which might be incurred by him in discharge of his duties; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CallaghanI do not foresee any circumstances in which such personal liabilities might arise, but I have thought it right to authorise the issue to Sir Sydney Caine, the Governor and Trustee of the Reserve Bank, and to any successor who may be appointed under the Reserve Bank of Rhodesia Orders 1965 and 1967 Governor and Trustee of the Reserve Bank, and also to any Alternate who may be so appointed, of a letter saying that, subject to the approval of Parliament, the Treasury will indemnify him against any personal liability incurred by him 269W in consequence of any act or neglect on his part in the course of discharging in good faith his duties in pursuance of this appointment.
