Pl. consult appropriate happy We have read with interest of the Home Secretary's public statement that tougher immigration legislation is to be introduced in Britain.
As you know, we have prepared our draft immigration legislation, copies of which were sent to you for your preliminary views on 19th October.
We are, naturally, most interested in the United Kingdom proposals, and should be grateful if you could obtain for us an advance copy of the draft U.K. bill, if one has yet been prepared. We would, of course, keep such a draft confidential until you told us that it could be mentioned publicly.
We are trying, incidentally, to take our draft Immigration and Deportation Bill to Executive Council early in the New Year. Would you please, therefore, do your best to let us know if you have any objections in principle to the draft Bill before the end of this year?
