WE HAVE ALREADY SUFFERED CONSIDERABLE EMBARRASSMENT
WE MUST AT ALL COSTS AVOID
IN OUR RELATIONS WITH THE PAKISTANIS OVER PROBLEMS ARISING
FROM IMMIGRATION TO BRITAIN.
A SIMILAR, IF MINOR, CAUSE OF FRICTION OVER EMIGRATION TO
HONG KONG. IN CASE THEREFORE THE NUMBER OF VISA APPLICANTS
FOR HONG KONG SHOULD PROVE BEYOND OUR EXISTING RESOURCES
I COULD ONLY AGREE TO UNDERTAKE THIS ADDITIONAL COMMITMENT.
ON THE STRICT UNDERSTANDING THAT EXTRA STAFF, BOTH UK BASED
AND LOCALLY ENGAGED, WILL BE AUTHORISED WITHOUT DELAY IF THIS
SHOULD BECOME NECESSARY.
