Thank you for your recent minute. entirely agree with the line which you. suggest the Prime Minister should take if this matter is raised with her in Hong Kong, although she might also indicate that we do see serious difficulties in the proposal that has been made.

I understand that the background brief for the Prime Minister will bring out the serious immigration difficulties which I believe the proposal entails.

I am sending a copy of this minute to the Prime Minister.
