DEPENDENT TERRITORIES WORK PERMIT QUOTA: HONG KONG AND

ST HELENA

Problem

1. Difficulties over implementing Ministers' decision to abolish the Hong Kong part of the Dependent Territories' Work Permit Quota. Conflicting Hong Kong and St Helena

considerations.

Recommendation

2. That we should propose the abolition of the whole Quota, phased over five years ending in 1995, subject to reviewing

the case of St Helena at the end of 1992. SAAD and WIAD

agree. If Ministers are content we shall write accordingly to Home Office and Department of Employment officials.
