11. For the reasons given in paragraph 9 above and since the
position of United Kingdom belongers is safeguarded, I recommend
that we adopt course (1) in paragraph 7 above;
namely that
the Ordinance be accepted as enacted and that notification of
its non-disallowance be conveyed to the Governor in the normal
way. This submission has been cleared with the Department's
Legal Adviser and Migration and Visa Department.
