26. Secret. It is proposed to introduce legislation to give effect to the Co-ordination Committee's proposals. Legislation will take the form of a short Bill scheduling the five proposals and giving the Executive Council power to make orders giving effect to them. All this is for your personal and confidential information. We shall send you by wire on Monday the official reply to be made to the President of the Committee. In this connection, the Minister's present inclination is to say that he is prepared to bring the agreed measures into force here at any date fixed by the Committee which is not earlier than say the 15th or 20th November. In the meantime, please make all possible enquiries as to the dates mentioned or likely to be mentioned by other states, and as to the Secretariat's views as to the date most likely to be fixed. Please telephone the result of these enquiries early on Monday morning.
