PROMINENT RESIDENTS OF HONG KONG: RESETTLEMENT IN THE UK
1.
You might like to know that when the PUS lunched with him today, Mr Julian Amery MP repeated his familiar refrain about the need for HMG to adopt a more forthcoming attitude towards prominent Hong Kong businessmen who wished to settle in this country.
2. The PUS replied that he could not go beyond what the Secretary of State and Lord Glenarthur had already said to Mr Amery on this subject. As we saw it, we should do nothing which might encourage prominent members of the Hong Kong community to leave the Colony indeed, it was almost certainly in HMG's interest that these people should stay on
In addition, any to ensure that the SAR worked post-1997.
change in our policy would only lead to invidious, and probably impossible, choices between individuals.
