Note of telephone conversation with sir Lancelot oliphant
on 19th Iv&rdi 1955 .
Sir Lancelot Olipiiant rang me up yesterday to
say that he had received strong representations from the
A.P.O.C*, which were hacked hy the Consular Department of
the Foreign Office, in favour of the retention for a
further period of Captain F.C.L. Chauncy, of the
Political Department, as Vice-Consul, Mohacmerah. The
A.P.O*C. spoke in the highest terms of the tact and skill
with which Captain Chauncy had discharged his duties and
the S.N.O. was understood to entertain an equally high
opinion of him. Sir Lancelot Oliphant enquired whether
in these circumstances there would he any possibility of
securing a further extension.
2* I said that, while this was essentially a
matter for the Government of India, Sir Lancelot oliphant
would remember that Captain Chauncy had already had one
extension at the express request of the Minister and that
it was perhaps unlikely, if he was to finish his training
in India, that they would wish to grant a further
extension. It might well not he in Captain Chauncy*s
own interests. Sir Lancelot Oliphant explained the
position to the A.P.O.C. representatives, who were
actually with him, and said that in the circumstances
both he and they realised that there might he objections
to a further extension, hut that, in view of the
importance of this post and of the personal element in it,
it would he very greatly appreciated if the Government of
India could endeavour to replace Captain Chauncy hy
