Policy Towards the Dependent Territories
Over the Christmas holiday Lord Carrington was able to consider the attached papers on the Government's policy towards the dependent territories, which were submitted by your predecessor. Lord Carrington has approved the memorandum on this subject, to be used as a basis for guidance to Officials Administering Governments. He did not see a need to convene a meeting within the FCO to discuss the memorandum, or circulate it to his OD colleagues for their agreement.
