Mr Prime Minister,
I believe that the Governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten, has asked that you consider sympethetically the plight of these elderly ladies whose husbands
died in the service of this country.

I consider it an outrage that people who are considered intellectually, the elite of the colony, should be granted British passports and yet these ladies whose spouses gave much more for Britain, should be denied this same
privilege!
I am living and working in an area which is polluted by drug-pushers, pimps, never-works, and state scroungers, many of whom are not British by birth and yet they are kept by the state and are either housed or kept in bed and breakfast
accommodation by the rest of us who must work.
I demand, as a British-born citizen who voted for your political party in
national and local elections, to know how you can reasonably refuse to consider giving these elderly ladies the offer of sanctuary if they should so choose. I spent several weeks in People's Republic of China in February, 1993 and also Hong Kong, and I can well understand, the reluctance of these ladies to have no
if they wish to leave the colony. opportunity

They should be given British passports without delay!
I am, sir
