TOP COPY Q DIST?

YOUR TELNO 2691: CHANGES IN THE IMMIGRATION RULES (CASE OF MR AU-YEUNG)

1. WE WERE MOST GRATEFUL FOR THE ADVICE, IN ADVANCE OF LORD CAITHNESS' RECENT VISIT, ABOUT OMELCO'S INTEREST IN THE AU-YEUNG CASE AND ITS WIDER IMPLICATIONS. THIS HELPED US TO EQUIP LORD CAITHNESS TO DEAL WITH THE ISSUE IN HONG KONG, BOTH WITH OMELCO AND PUBLICLY.

2. AS FAR AS WE ARE AWARE, INTEREST IN HONG KONG IN THE SUBJECT HAS EVAPORATED, AT LEAST FOR THE TIME BEING. NONE OF THE OMELCO VISITORS WHO HAVE CALLED ON LORD CAITHNESS SINCE HIS VISIT HAVE RAISED THE MATTER. NOR ARE WE AWARE OF ANY NEW CASES. BUT WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION OF THIS.

3.

AS AGREED WITH OMELCO, WE ARE NOW MONITORING THE SITUATION WITH THE HOME OFFICE, WHO HAVE UNDERTAKEN TO LET US KNOW OF ANY FURTHER CASES OF RETURNING RESIDENTS LOSING THIS STATUS. WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD LET US KNOW OF ANY CASES WHICH COME TO YOUR ATTENTION.
