DRAFT Saving Despatch
357
Type 1 +
From
GOVERNOR, HONG KONG
Telephone No. & Ext.
Department
Your Saving Despatch No. 765 of 2 July.
Entry of Commonwealth Citizens into Hong Kong
No objection is seen to the proposals you have
outlined.
2.
Enclosed for your comments is the draft of a
Circular Saving Telegram it is proposed to issue
to all posts and dependent territories as a basis
for giving the Governments concerned advance
information, in confidence, of your intentions.
3.
It would in our view be desirable to indicate
in the Circular whether posts are to be given any
measure of discretion in the grant of entry visas
and, if so, which categories of applicants are to
be referred and which can be decided in discretion.
We should also be grateful for your views on
the timing of the issue of the Circular bearing in
mind that two weeks should be allowed to ensure
arrival at most posts and dependent territories.
In the case of some remote posts and dependent
territories a longer period will be required, but
4.
in such cases it does not seem necessary to inform
the Governments concerned in advance of the
introduction of the scheme.
