HONG KONG TELNO 1081 TO FCO: INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT: FRENCH SCHEME
IT IS SIGNIFICANT THAT THE FRENCH PROPOSALS AS IN HONG KONG TUR PROVIDE FOR A MAJOR INPUT FROM FRENCH COMPANIES IN DETERMINING WHO SHALL GET RIGHT OF ABODE IN FRANCE (SECOND SENTENCE OF PARAGRAPH 3 AND FINAL SENTENCE PARAGRAPH 4). IF THE FRENCH SCHEME IS IMPLEMENTED AS PROPOSED THEN THE DISQUIET WHICH WE ARE LIKELY TO GET FROM BRITISH COMPANIES HERE (PARA 4 OF MY TELNO 83), SHOULD THEY FIND THEY ARE LIKELY TO HAVE NO INPUT AT ALL IN OUR CHOICE OF CANDIDATES FOR PASSPORTS, IS LIKELY TO BE CONSIDERABLY HEIGHTENED.
