Clause 11 amends section 64 of the principal

Ordinance (which deals with evidential matters) to

incorporate references to the new categories of citizenship.

Clause 14 adds a new First Schedule to the

7.

principal Ordinance setting out the categories of "Hong

Kong belonger" and providing for references to the

British Nationality Act 1981 where applicable.

It

also defines "appropriate qualifying connexion" which

serves as the basis of ensuring that the status of

"Hong Kong belonger" is conferred only upon British

Dependent Territories citizens who have a connexion

with Hong Kong, e.g. birth in Hong Kong.

8.

The enactment of this Bill will not result

in any significant public expenditure or Public Service

staffing requirements.
