WE ARE STILL PRESSING THE HOME OFFICE ON THIS SUBJECT. YOU ARE AWARE SOME PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE IN THAT THE HOME OFFICE ARE NOW WILLING TO CONSIDER EACH CASE ON ITS MERITS SYMPATHETICALLY. HOWEVER THIS STILL FALLS SHORT OF DR LEONG'S REQUEST AND OUR VIEW IS THAT IF ANY CHILDREN WERE TO BE EXCLUDED THIS WOULD STIR UP CONTROVERSY. MR GOODLAD THEREFORE WROTE AGAIN ON 12 JUNE ASKING FOR A BLANKET ASSURANCE ON ALL THE CHILDREN CONCERNED
