1. ACTION TAKEN TODAY WITH SHEEHAN WHO CONFIRMED CANADIAN VIEW THAT EXPANSION OF THIS INFORMAL GROUP WAS DESIRABLE DUT HE REPEATED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE POSSILBE TO TAKE MATTERS FURTHER UNTIL HE HAD BEEN ABLE TO MEET FELLOW GROUP MEMBERS IN GENEVA. HE TOOK NOTE OF OUR HOPE THAT THE BRITISH DELEGATION WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS MATTERS INFORMALLY WITH HIM IN THE MARGINS
OF THE EXCO MEETNG.
2. AS YOU MAY KNOW, SHEEHAN WILL BE STOPPING OVER IN LONDON TO MEET HOME OFFICE OFFICIALS CONCERNED WITH IMMIGRATION. BUT HE MADE IT CLEAR THAT HE WOULD NOT BE ALBE TO GO FURTHER WITH THEM THAN
HE HAS WITH US ON THIS QUESTION (IN OUR VIEW IT WOULD BE A MISTAKE
