I am pleased to enclose a copy of a letter received by Lord Ennals from the Australian High Commissioner.

I am sure you will agree that this is a most welcome confirmation that an initiative from Britain to "break the resettlement logjam" in Hong Kong by offering additional places for family reunion cases would indeed have the effect of generating more places from other resettlement countries.

The British Refugee Council very much hopes that you will be able to agree to such an initiative once SCORRI has reported.

Yours sincerely,

HKCK 243/2
