4. BOSSANO ASKED FOR AN ACCOUNT OF THE BRITISH SCHEME FOR GRANTING RESIDENCE TO HONG KONG CITIZENS, AND ASKED WHETHER GIBRALTAR COULD BE INCLUDED. MR MAUDE EMPHASISED THAT OUR AIM WAS TO KEEP PEOPLE IN HONG KONG, AND NOT TO ATTRACT THEM OUT. WE WOULD NOT WANT GIBRALTAR TO ACT IN A WAY WHICH UNDERMINED THIS. BUT THERE WAS NO REASON IN PRINCIPLE WHY GIBRALTAR SHOULD NOT BE IN SOME WAY ASSOCIATED WITH THE UKS SCHEME, OR OPERATE A SIMILAR SCHEME. HE UNDERTOOK TO STUDY THE QUESTION AND REVERT. BOSSANO SAID THAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT SMALL NUMBERS 200 TO 250.
