YOUR TELNO 716: UK NATIONALITY SCHEME: COMPOSITION. OF STEERING
GROUP
1. IN TERMS OF LOCAL PERCEPTION AND EFFECTIVE CARRYING OUT OF ITS
TASKS I BELIEVE THE SORT OF STEERING GROUP IN MY TELNOS 1129 AND
1066 IS THE RIGHT MIX. IF MINISTERS WISH TO DRAW A CLEAR LINE BETWEEN THE ROLES OF THE HKG AND HMG IN RUNNING THE SCHEME THEN I SHOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT HAD ATTRACTIONS IN LONDON AS WELL.
2. IF, HOWEVER, THE VIEW IN LONDON IS THAT THERE WILL BE A SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT IN TERMS OF GETTING THE SCHEME ACCEPTED BY PARLIAMENT IF THE SENIOR BRITISH TRADE COMMISSIONER IS A MEMBER OF THE STEERING GROUP, THEN WE WOULD SIMPLY MANAGE THE HONG KONG DIMENSION AS BEST WE COULD. IF MINISTERS FEEL STRONGLY THAT HEAP SHOULD BE ON THE STEERING GROUP, I WOULD ADD HIM AND DROP MACKAY.
B
3 I HOPE NOBODY IS TAKING SERIOUSLY THE KESWICK SUGGESTION THAT PETER HEAP SHOULD CHAIR THE GROUP. IT WOULD BE A NONSENSE.
