uncertainty in the minds of the families, and if in the event some children were accepted and some rejected,
could kindle further controversy. With the small numbers
involved, I think it would be much more effective
politically to deal with the whole category in one
decision, and remove this as an irritant before Mr Patten
takes up office.
Could I ask you to take a further look at this in
the light of the petitions from the individual families,
and let me know whether a clear-cut solution would be
possible?
