The press was full of speculation over the weekend that Len Williams, the secretary of the Labour Party, would shortly be appointed as Governor of the island of Mauritius. The Evening Standard even puplished a photograph of him with ambassador's robes superimposed. Most of the papers linked his appointment with Mr. Wilson's desire to reorgaise and modernise the workings of Transport House. Among his possible successors appeared the name of Jim Cattermole, well known for witch-hunting activities in the Midlands and East Midlands Labour Parties.
