CR 13,
I enclose a revised draft in reply to your letter of 7 December which we have
discussed.
Clause 1(1)
As I said when we spoke, changing the first line as suggested in your letter would
make it impossible to retain the second line in its present form. You will see what I
propose.
Schedule, paragraph 1
See the reference to "provision of an Act" rather than "an enactment".
enact
Although
"amendment" is not apt for a provision of a prerogative Order in Council there can
be no doubt that such a provision is not a provision of an Act. Nor, of course, is it
a provision of an instrument made under an Act.
Paragraph 2(1)(a)
I did not find it easy to deal with your point about the person whose citizenship
depends partly on a Hong Kong connection and partly on a Gibraltar connection.
