AUTHORITIES ARE CONSIDERING GIVING RIGHT OF ABODE TO US
CONSULATE STAFF IN HONG KONG. WHAT IS HMG DOING FOR BTC/
BRITISH COUNCIL?
- We did not think it right to make special arrangements for British Council or British Trade Commission employees
as such, but they will be eligible to apply insofar as they fall into one or more of the occupational groups
making up the seven areas of work which comprise the main
part of the scheme.
-
Proficiency in English and British links are two of the
factors which will be considered when assessing such
candidates. British Trade Commission and British Council
candidates will be at an advantage over other similarly
qualified candidates without such links.
[If pressed]. One consequence of this choice of
occupational groups is that less skilled individuals,
such as clerical and secretarial staff, will not be
eligible to apply under the scheme. The elimination of
lower skilled groups goes right across the board and covers both private and public.
