DEPENDENT TERRITORIES QUOTA

Legal Aduser's Mr Lidington

Thank you for your letter of 19 February in which you suggest that there should be a full quota of 200 for 1990 but that thereafter the 150 work permits for Hong Kong should be withdrawn.

quota

There are no strong employment grounds for continuing the for Hong Kong and provided that Douglas Hurd is satisfied that the discontinuation of the quota will not unduly damage relationships with Hong Kong I agree that it should be withdrawn after 1990.

I also agree that in announcing the 1990 quota nothing should be said to imply that it will continue in its present form in future

years.

My officials will be discussing with yours a draft written PQ on the lines of the draft attached. should be made by Thomas Strathclyde in the Lords.

I propose that the

announcement

I ain

copying this to members of OD(K), the Attorney General, the Chief Whip, Sir Percy Craddock and Sir Robin Butler.
