IMMIGRATION CONTROL
Nicholas Covington has asked me to send you the enclosed paper setting out our proposals for an irtarin voucher scheme
A
we shrul be grateful if you will let us have any comments you wish to make urgently t-separate-paper on the permanent Foliepe for the impug of work nemite under the new Zerielation will be eiroul ted shortly.
It is expected that any announcement about this interim scheme will be linked with proposals concerning an increase in the number of special vouchers for UKPH.
In view of the present high level of unemployment, even if the negotiations with the Fest African countries have not been successfully concluded, it is, however, ponsible that the Government may wish to announce an interim scheme referring only to paragraph 1 (ii, and (iii) of the enclosed paper.
I am copying this to Simffrey, S I Saith and RB Mayoh in MISS, 11 J Downing in FCO.
