YOUR LETTER OF 25 APRIL AND TELELETTER OF 4 JUNE TO WEBB-JOHNSON
AND HONG KONG TELNOS 1191 AND 1205: HONG KONG AGREEMENT:
NATIONALITY

(224)
A. YOUR LETTER AND TELELETTER UNDER BEFERENCE.
1.
MEETING FOR YOU AND CARTER WITH RAWSTHORNE, HEAD OF B1
DIVISION OF THE HOME OFFICE, LUNAR HOUSE, CROYDON, HAS BEEN
ARRANGED FOR 1030 ON 31 JULY. ON THE SAME DAY THOMPSON HAS
SUGGESTED YOU CALL ON HIM AT 1230 FOR A SHORT TALK FOLLOWED BY
LUNCH AND I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT 1430. GRATEFUL FOR
CONFIRMATION THAT THESE ARRANGEMENTS ARE ACCEPTABLE.
2.
GRATEFUL IF YOU OR HKGO LONDON COULD INFORM CARTER OF MEETING
WITH RAWSTHORNE.
B.
HONG KONG TELS UNDER REFERENCE.
3. AS FAR AS DISCUSSION OF THE DRAFT ORDER IN COUNCIL IS
-
-
CONCERNED, WE SHOULD INDEED BE HAPPY FOR A SMALL HONG KONG TEAM
TO COME OVER TO AGREE IT WITH HOME OFFICE AND OURSELVES. WE HOPE
TO LET YOU HAVE A CLEAN DRAFT FAIRLY SOON BUT NOT, I FEAR, IN
TIME FOR A MEETING FROM 1 5 JULY. AS YOU SAY, 22 25 JULY IS
IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THE JLG MEETING. WE HAD THOUGHT OF THE
WEEK BEGINNING 15 JULY BUT THE HOME OFFICE OFFICIAL WHO LEADS ON
THIS SUBJECT WILL BE AWAY AT THAT TIME. THIS REALLY ONLY LEAVES
THE WEEK BEGINNING 29 JULY. SUBJECT TO FINAL CONFIRMATION, HOME
OFFICE COULD MANAGE THIS. I APPRECIATE THAT JOHN CHAN COULD NOT,
BUT WONDER WHETHER YOU COULD FIND A SUBSTITUTE FOR HIM? YOUR
TELNO 1191 NAMES TWO OF YOUR PROPOSED TEAM OF FOUR. CAN I TAKE
IT THAT THE OTHER TWO WOULD BE YOURSELF AND CARTER? IF SO, WE
SHOULD HAVE TO BREAK FROM THE ORDER IN COUNCIL DISCUSSIONS FOR
YOUR MEETINGS ON 31 JULY BUT WE COULD, IF DISCUSSIONS ON 29 AND
30 JULY HAD NOT RESOLVED ALL QUESTIONS, RESUME ON 1 AND 2 AUGUST.
