TELELETTER
FROM P J WILLIAMSON, HONG KONG AND GENERAL DEPARTMENT
DATED 11 SEPTEMBER 1981
Sea/361
FOLLOWING FOR A J SCOTT, SECRETARY FOR INFORMATION, GOVERNMENT
SECRETARIAT, HONG KONG
354
BRIEFING NOTE (AS AT 4.9.81)
1.
WE HAVE AN IMPORTANT POINT ON THE FINAL SENTENCE OF THE LINE
TO TAKE ON NATIONALITY BILL IN THIS NOTE. HMG IS OPPOSED TO THE
GIBRALTAR AMENDMENT AND THIS SHOULD BE REFLECTED RATHER THAN THE PRESENT IMPLICATION THAT THE AMENDMENT WILL GO THROUGH THE LORDS
AND THE COMMONS.
2.
WHETHER THE GOVERNMENT WILL FEEL ABLE TO OPPOSE THE CLAUSE
IN PARLIAMENT IS ANOTHER MATTER BUT WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT WANT
IT THOUGHT THAT HMG IS ANYTHING BUT OPPOSED TO IT.
SIGNED P J WILLIAMSON
