ay 51d Council. No confidential despatch, either to or from the Secretary of State, may be made public without his permission. The Secretary of State will only publish such despatches if he considers it desirable in the public interest, and will as a rule consult the Governor before so doing. Numbered despatches marked ‘“ Reserved *’ will be treated as confidential for a period of six months from the date of the despatch. (4) Secret despatches, the contents of which the Governor is forbidden to communicate to any one without express authority from the Secretary of State. 165. Whenever it may be found necessary to address the Secretary of State confidentially the communica- tion should be marked ‘‘ Confidential ’’; but care must be taken that the series of numbered despatches shall contain a full report of all important transactions in the Colony; so that, should Parliament call for information as to any of these transactions, a con- nected and complete account of what has taken place may be afforded by such despatches without adding those which are *‘ Confidential.”” No reference to a confidential despatch should ever be made in a numbered despatch. 166. The Governor will cause the Secretary of State’s despatches addressed to himself, as well as copies of his own addressed to the Secretary of State, whether confidential or not, to be deposited in the Secretariat or other recognised office of record in the Colony or in some other safe building belonging to the Government. The Governor must satisfy himself that proper arrangements are made for the custody of secret despatches. Any secret despatch which he considers it necessary to retain in his own custody must be handed by him personally to his successor.
