sir,
With reference to your letter (T 14419/742/378) of the
17th instant regarding the grant of travel facilities for
Chinese nationals who are unable to obtain passports in China,
I am directed by Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare to say, for the
information of Viscount Halifax, that he does not, in the
special circumstances at present obtaining, wish to offer
objection to the grant of facilities to Chinese sorvanta
accompanying their British employers who are proceeding to the
United Kingdom on leave provided that H.M. Consul General
is satisfied in each case that the employer does in fact
intend to return to China and accepts full responsibility
for his servant's return.
Sir Samuel Hoare is of the opinion that the proposal, that
the Chinese Invoice officer in Hong Kong should be empowered
to issue passports to Chinese nationals, should not be
agreed to.
The Under Secretary of State,
FOREIGN OFFICE.
I am,
Sir,
Your obedient Servant
