1. FURTHER CONTACTS CONFIRM THE IMPRESSION REPORTED EARLIER. WE ARE NOT AWARE OF SPECIFIC CASES WHEREBY EMPLOYEES OF BRITISH COMPANIES HAVE RESIGNED AS A RESULT OF NOT OBTAINING A PASSPORT UNDER THE SCHEME. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE BRITISH BUSINESS COMMUNITY WOULD HAVE BEEN QUICK TO INFORM US OF ANY SUCH INSTANCES. I HAVE DECIDED AGAINST INVOLVING THE SPECIAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. IT IS NOW DOWN TO THREE MEMBERS (RICH OF JARDINES, GLEDHILL (EX-CHAIRMAN OF SWIRES) AND GALE OF CABLE AND WIRELESS/HONG KONG TELECOM), ALL MAJOR BRITISH UNDERTAKING EMPLOYERS WHOM I SEE REGULARLY. BUT LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO RECONSTITUTE IT.
2. YOUR ASSUMPTIONS REGARDING
ARE CORRECT.
HE IS OVER 50 AND DID INDEED APPLY UNDER THE OVER-SUBSCRIBED ENGINEERS CATEGORY.
3. OUR VIEW BACKED BY IMMIGRATION STATISTICS IS THAT THERE ARE NO GROUNDS TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF BRITISH LINK POINTS.
