1.
I WAS GRATEFUL FOR MR MORRICE'S LETTER OF 29 JUNE, JUST RECEIVED BY BAG. UNLESS HE OR THE FCO SEE ANY LAST MINUTE REASONS FOR NOT PROCEEDING (TO REACH US DESKBY 260100OZ PLEASE) WE NOW PROPOSE TO ISSUE NEXT WEEK LETTERS FROM THE DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NKMTA DELEGATION WHICH RECENTLY VISITED HONG KONG (SEE MY LETTER OF 4 JUNE TO BUNTEN, HKD) REVOKING THEIR MULTI-ENTRY VISAS ON THE GROUNDS THAT THEY HAVE BREACHED THE CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THESE WERE ISSUED. SINCE ALL HAD COMMITTED THEMSELVES TO PRIVATE VISITS, AND ALL PARTICIPATED IN THE GROUP'S POLITICAL ACTIVITIES HERE, WE SEE NO BASIS FOR TAKING ACTION AGAINST SOME BUT NOT OTHERS. WE WOULD HAVE NO OBJECTION TO MR MORRICE SPEAKING AS PROPOSED IN PARAS 2 AND 3 OF HIS LETTER TO THE MFA AND TO JASON HU.
