HONG KONG: CONTROL OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION FROM CHINA
Mo 1731.7
1. At the meeting which Mr Blaker had with the Governor on
14 July, it was agreed that the Secretary of State's views should
be sought on timing of the implementation of the package of
measures to which the Secretary of State has agreed on a contin-
gency basis, in order to permit the Hong Kong Government to take
action to expel illegal immigrants from China.
2. I suggest that the matter might best be put to the Secretary
of State by means of a minute from you to his Private Secretary.
I submit a draft for Mr Blaker's approval.
