I am quite sure that Mr. Jackson-Lipkin and people in Hong Kong who are anxious about their future may rely on the British Government in power at the time to do everything possible to assist those in Hong Kong who may be placed in difficult circumstances; bat this does not enable me to give an undertaking now that people from Hong Kong will be treated differently from those in other parts of the Commonwealth by being admitted to the United Kingdon at any time without restriction.

I am sending a copy of this letter to John Smith, who has also spoken to me about Hr. Jackson-Lipkin's letter of 19th September.
