NATIONALITY BILL : CITIZENSHIPS FOR THE DEPENDENCIES

1.

(थ)

Your minute of 6 March. HKGD can agree to the idea of an enabling clause if this is thought necessary. You will, I know, appreciate that such a move could cause misunderstanding in Hong Kong and, in addition to the Ministerial defences in Committee or elsewhere, we should consider a separate explanation which the Governor could use in discussion with Unofficials and others.
