PRISONER REPATRIATION

{r

THANK YOU FOR YOUR LETTER OF 21 JANUARY INSTRUCTING US TO ENQUIRE IF THE JAPANESE WOULD BE WILLING TO CONSIDER A PRISONER TRANSFER AGREEMENT ON THE MODEL OF THE UK-THAI ONE. I HAVE TAKEN ACTION WITH THE MFA AND AWAIT A CONSIDERED RESPONSE.

2. ONE QUESTION I MAY WELL BE ASKED CONCERNS THE APPLICATION TO HONG KONG. WITH 1997 LOOMING, ARE SUCH AGREEMENTS GOING TO HAVE TO BE SEPARATED INTO UK AGREEMENTS AND HONG KONG AGREEMENTS? I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR GUIDANCE.
