1.

Thank you for your minute of 5 May.

2.

I discussed the matter with Mr Cogbill (Home Office) today. He told me that the question is under active consideration in the Home Office. It is, as you know, a very complicated subject, and they are having to do considerable research into various aspects (not least the reasoning behind decisions which have led to the current situation). A further consideration of importance is that the eventual arrangements to be decided upon will, of course, have to be capable of general application - not just to Hong Kong.

3.

On timing, Mr Cogbill told me that the Home Office were aiming to complete their work in time for the White Paper which it is hoped will be published before the recess to cover proposed changes in the Immigration Rules.
