(NAME OF SIGNATORY)
You spoke to me about a letter sent by Mr. M. H.
Jackson-Lipkin on 19th September to the Home Office, and later
sent me the enclosed letter from him dated 13th Noverber.
I think my best course will be to deal with the points
raised in Mr. Jackson-Hipkin's two letters and to ask you to pass
on what I say to him, and for this purpose I am enclosing a copy
of this letter. I agree, incidentally, that it would have been
better to have replied to Mr. Jackson-Lipkin more fully than was
done in the Home Office letter of 9th October, and I am sorry
about this.
First, First, as to the attitude of the immigration officials in
Hong Kong, I can assure you that they have full information about
our
the requirements of immigration control and have stocks of
leaflets which can be handed to people explaining the system.
While they can deal with cases which fall clearly into one of the
categories provided it may on occasions be necessary for them to
refer an application to the Home Office in London for a final 1
ruling. If Mr. Jackson-Läpkin, or for that matter any British
subject in Hong Kong, bra ry oomplaint about the way in which he
is ruquivol an. Rods naM. M. Luo Jamigration Offico iero, 20
