************

In the Government Order cited the earlier instructions on the code of conduct stipulating the relationship between the Government officials and the M.Ps./M.L.As. were reiterated with some modifications, with the direction to all concerned to scrupulously observe all the provisions of the code of conduct.

 2.  As per para 8 of the code of conduct appended to the G.O. cited, letters received from Members of Parliament and of the State Legislature should be acknowledged immediately.   All such letters should receive careful consideration and should be responded to, at an appropriate level and expeditiously.  An interim reply should be given immediately.  The final reply, however, should be given within two months.

3.  The Committee on Government assurances, which met on 15.2.1994, has suggested that the instructions should be reiterated and that when letters of M.L.As. are transferred from one department to another, the letter also should send the final reply within the overall time stipulated.  Accordingly, when letters received from the Members of the State Legislature are transferred from one department to another, the latter department also should send the final reply within the overall time stipulated, i.e., two months.  These instructions may be adhered to scrupulously without any omission.

                                                                             Yours faithfully,

                                                                                    (Sd.)A.SURIYAKUMARI,
