Tea Valerin,

شما

attached (5 (332)

Thank you for your letter of 27 July (which Peter Carrington saw before his departure on holiday this week)

about the Lords' amendment which would give Gibraltarians a

right to acquire British citizenship. I am replying on

Peter's behalf.

333

The Government have made clear their opposition to

anything in the Nationality Bill which would discriminate in

favour of Gibraltar. We are now considering the full implications

of the Lords' amendment and our future course of action.

I am very grateful for your views on this.
