Dear Pakenham-Walsh

2nd Letter
BRITISH NATIONALITY BILL
see /163
After sending my earlier letter of today enclosing a draft clause
I discussed two aspects of subsection (5)(b) with Clift.
*(161)
First, he will consider whether the words "or on behalf of" can be
omitted on the footing that appointments by the Secretary of State
and by the Governor acting under the Royal Instructions are all
equally effected by the Crown. In other words the Secretary of
State and the Governor are alike in making such appointments for
the Crown.
Second, he mentioned that the councils he is concerned about have
ex officio as well as appointed members; and we agreed that it would
be better to say "members of which are appointed" rather than "whose
members are appointed" in order to avoid something to require all
members to be appointed.
Copy to Clift.
Yours sincerely
I
