1. You will wish to be aware of the attached papers.
2. In the course of last week, I have spoken to ECDI, ECDP and Mr Low (MVD) on the question of responsibility for an activity on asylum seekers. I think it right that MVD should
d
keep the lead since current consideration of the problems of asylum seekers is handled essentially as an
an immigration issue. I did, however, draw the attention of other departments to the wider implications of the subject, including our international legal obligations, our Hong Kong interests and the repercussions of any action which might be taken in Europe on countries of first refuge elsewhere.
