CODE 18-77

Reference

"suck passport" under the Memorandum. This agreed legal approach was arrived at after minuting between Mr Christie A legal adviser), Mr Giles (Home Office Legal Adviser) and Mr Morris. The papers discussing this legal principle are scattered in our files. With apologies for the amount of paper presented to you I list them separately with a brief summary of their contents to to make any future reference to them easier. (I suggest you look at the list before reading the rest of the minute)

To sum up, has the basis for the line in paragraph 2 of NTCD's draft telegram been established to our satisfaction, or should we commission further work on this?
