Thank you for your letter. These dates are right given the delay in obtaining Jock’s veterinary certification.
My chief concern is leaving the US and arriving in the UK with the maximum dignity and minimum media intrusion which I think is to the advantage of all concerned, not least because I remain a crown/civil servant and expect to be treated as such.
How is the FCDO assisting in this ?
I am not sure what you mean by paras 12 and 13. My understanding is that I have common law employment rights but this will be better understood by lawyers than by me.
Very best
Peter
