YOUR TELNO 2330: DEPENDENT TERRITORIES WORK PERMIT QUOTA (DTWPQ)
1 ALTHOUGH YOU DO NOT SEE THE CONCESSION WHICH WE HAVE
·
EXTRACTED FROM THE HOME OFFICE AND DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT AS A VICTORY, WE HOPE YOU WILL APPRECIATE THAT THE STAY OF EXECUTION HAS BEEN HARD FOUGHT FOR, AND THAT THE DECISION TO PHASE OUT THE QUOTA FOR ALL DEPENDENT TERRITORIES OVER 4 YEARS WILL BENEFIT 350 APPLICANTS FROM HONG KONG WHO WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE LOST OUT.
2.
A BAD REACTION FROM OMELCO OR FROM THE PUBLIC WOULD NOT ASSIST OUR RELATIONS WITH THE HOME OFFICE OR DEPARTMENT OF EMPLOYMENT AND WOULD MAKE IT MUCH MORE DIFFICULT FOR US TO DEFEND YOUR INTERESTS ON OTHER ISSUES IN THE FUTURE.
