Dear Burrows
HONG KONG BILL
A
You asked for a form of words for an amendment inserting the name
I of the new status into paragraph 2(1)(b) of the Schedule.
suggest leaving out "such new form of British nationality as is
specified in the Order" and inserting "a new form of British
nationality the holders of which shall be known as British Nationals
(Overseas). I am not sure whether the last two words should have
capital initials.
A copy of this letter goes to Pakenham-Walsh with whom I have
discussed the amendment.
Yours sincerely
CH de WAAL
