DESK OFFICER

Dear Mr Hicks,

INDEX

1986.

REGISTRY Action Taken

Repatriation of Prisoners Act 1984

Thank you for your letter of 28 February

I am afraid the matter you refer to is still under consideration. The problem is complicated by the 1997 issue and the need for us to have in place local legislation which would allow arrangements for the transfer of sentenced persons to continue after

1997.

I shall write to you again as soon as I have further news.

Yours sincerely,

Mind Stone

(Michael V Stone )
