DEPENDENT TERRITORIES WORK PERMIT QUOTA: HONG KONG AND
ST HELENA
Problem
1. Difficulties over implementing Ministers' decision to abolish the Hong Kong part of the Dependent Territories'
Work Permit Quota. Conflicting Hong Kong and St Helena
considerations.
Recommendation
2.
That we should propose the abolition of the whole Quota, phased over five years ending in 1995, subject to reviewing
the case of St Helena at the end of 1992. SAAD and WIAD
agree. If Ministers are content we shall write accordingly to Home Office and Department of Employment officials.
