TO IMMEDIATE FCO
TELNO 490 OF 28 MAY
AND TO HONG KONG (GOVERNOR).
FOLLOWING FOR CORTAZZI
186
HONG KONG TELNO 649 AND MIPT: IMMIGRATION FROM CHINA
1. THE ACTION PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR ON LEASES COULD, AS HE
SAYS, HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR NEXT APPROACH ON LEASES.
BUT I AGREE THAT, IF THE ACTION PROPOSED BY HIM IS APPROVED,
THE IMPLICATIONS FOR THE LEASES QUESTION HAVE TO BE ACCEPTED.
ON THE OTHER HAND MIPT SUGGESTS SHIFTING THE EMPHASIS OF
CUR APPROACH ON TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, OVER THE CONTROL WHICH
WE HAVE A COMMON INTEREST WITH THE CHINESE.
