DEPENDENT TERRITORIES WORK PERMIT QUOTA: HONG KONG AND

ST HELENA

A

B

Problem

1. With Ministers agreement, we wrote to the Home Office

and the Department of Employment to propose the abolition of

the Dependent Territories Work Permit Quota, phased over 5

years ending in 1995, subject to reviewing the case of

St Helena at the end of 1992. Home Office and Department of

Employment have now replied, agreeing in principle, but

-

proposing a slightly steeper ramp a 4 year phase out beginning in 1991, and that the review at the end of 1992

should not be publicised. How should we respond?
