DEPENDENT TERRITORIES WORK PERMIT QUOTA

Problem

1. Difficulties over implementing Ministers' decision to abolish the Hong Kong part of the Dependent Territories'

Work Permit Quota.

Recommendation

2. That we should propose the abolition of the whole quota by means of a phased reduction over five years ending in

1995. SAAD and WIAD agree. If Ministers are content we shall write accordingly to Home Office and Department of Employment officials.
