Fernley Webber

Major Fernley Douglas Webber CMG TD MC (12 March 1918 – 1991), sometimes referred to as Awang F.D.

[4] He obtained his Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree at Jesus College, Cambridge, and began work with the Colonial Office in 1939.

[1] Early that year in February, he gave the reassurance of the British government being keen on seeing positive constitutional changes in Brunei.

[9] In conjunction to the 1967 Birthday Honours, he awarded the Order of the British Empire Commander (CBE) to Brunei Financial Officer, John Lee.

The Sultan wanted him to stay because he was concerned that if the High Commissioner changed, the Commonwealth Office would adopt a much stricter stance regarding Brunei's constitutional progress.
