Thank you for your letter of 14 August proposing a
revised formula for use in response to recommendation
5(iii) of SCORRI's report.
Enclosures-flag(s).........
We note the Home Secretary's desire to avoid "what
might be seen as a firm commitment at this stage to take
more refugees". This is certainly disappointing from
Hong Kong's point of view, and will make
and will make our task of
approaching other resettlement countries more
difficult.
For the immediate purpose of replying to SCORRI, the
Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary is nevertheless
prepared to agree to this form of words. However if we
are unable to persuade other countries to accept adequate
numbers of refugees on this basis, we may well need to
approach you again on this issue.
No comments yet.
Private notes are available after approval.
