THE FUGITIVE OFFENDERS ACT
In Shant
1. Mr Guest's minute of 7 November records Mr Royle's
comments on my submission of 2 November.
2. Mr Royle has agreed to the despatch of the telegram to
Governors of Dependent Territories asking them to examine
their legislation to which the double criminality law applies
and to suggest a schedule of returnable offences. However,
before writing to the Home Office at Ministerial level,
Mr Royle has asked us to try to reach agreement at the
official level.
3. I have therefore slightly recast the draft minute to
Mr Carlisle and suggest that it might appropriately issue
instead from Sir D-Watson to Mr Graham-Harrison, Deputy
Under-Secretary of State at the Home Office.
4. I submit a draft accordingly.
