PRESS REPORTS OF DISCUSSIONS WITH VISITING OFFICIALS FROM
HONG KONG GOVERNMENT
Team of officals from HKG had talks with Home Office
and FCO officials at the end of January. This was part of process of finalising selective scheme.
Some technical matters remain to be resolved. I expect an early and satisfactory outcome of discussions.
SELECTION CRITERIA
Main criteria will be value of service to Hong Kong and
propensity of people in their category of employment to
emigrate. Other criteria will include experience, education, ability to speak English and existing links
with the UK.
