Dear Waterhouse,
The King wishes the Cabinet to be informed that in the event of a Cabinet Minister leaving this country, if he is a Secretary of State all submissions to His Majesty should be made on his behalf by another Secretary of State. In the case of the Minister not being a Secretary of State, the submissions should be made by another Cabinet Minister; unless in the latter case the Under-Secretary of the Department in question is a Privy Councillor.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) STAMFORDHAM.
Lieutenant-Colonel Sir R. Waterhouse,
K.C.B., C.M.G., C.V.O.,
