2.
tell us that X is "suitable’ 1 and Y is "unsuitable”,
lhat f i think, is all the diiierencb between us.
mould you be willing to agree to a revised
formula to the following effect?
"That the Minister in Charge of the Jmnd shall be
advised in advance by the department concerned as to
the suitability of such guests for Government
hospitality, and shall at the same time be consulted
as to any proposals for their entertainment”.
This seems to me to express what the Treasury intended to
convey as regards financial responsibility, while at the
same time it would satisfy our susceptibilities. The
fact is, of course, that "suitability” has two meanings;
it implies either that X is a fit person to be entertained,
or that it is practicable to entertain him. We would
like to advise on the former; the rirst Commissioner
would, of course, decide on the latter.
1 hope that this suggestion may meet the
difficulty, but if your department should still have any
doubts, i should be very glad to accept the offer which
you have so kindly made.
lours sincerely.
