Further to our faxed comments on the Amnesty Inter- national' Memorandum, we would like to ascertain whether all persons arriving at UK ports of entry and seeking political asylum are given legal aid or other free legal assistance; and whether their lawyers are entitled to
a)
b)
sit in on all interviews by immigration officers; and
take an active part in the conduct of the inter- view.
On RSRB procedures, please omit the reference to RSRB exercising its discretion much more liberally than junior Immigration Officers.
Best regards, &
"King the far choy! yours
(Mrs Carrie Yau) Secretary for Security
