Dear Pakenham-Walsh
BRITISH NATIONALITY BILL

I enclose a draft of the new clause asked for in your letter of
18 March.
As agreed subsection (4) is purely discretionary. You told me
that you do not want to provide for particular periods of service.
to which subsection (4) applies to be treated as periods of
presence in the United Kingdom.
In subsection (4), you were inclined to think that the words
"outside the United Kingdom", which I have put in square brackets,
are desirable.
As regards subsection (5)(b), Clift is evidently concerned only to
bring in members of the Executive and Legislative Councils in
Hong Kong, the members of whom are all appointed either by the
Secretary of State or by the Governor on his behalf; and he was
inclined to think that the formula which appears in that paragraph
would suffice for this purpose. In particular, he was not worried
about elected members of similar Councils elsewhere.
