-The Home Office are, as you know, doing
their best to improve our own rate of resettlement.
But there is no prospect of a major increase in the
near future. In the circumstances I think that the
best we can do with the Germans and other resettlement
countries is to continue the official level lobbying
which Oliver Wright and others are pursuing, with
encouragement of the efforts of people like Stumpf >
who can be pretty effective. This does not mean,
of course, that we might not want to advise the
Secretary of State to intervene later on, but we shall
have to choose our timing carefully and be sure that
we are in a strong position.
