NATIONALITY ORDER IN COUNCIL:
DISCUSSION IN
A
1.
We have received from Hong Kong in the normal way
the record of the Executive Council meeting on 22 April at
which the Governor told the Council of HMG's decisions on
the three LegCo requests.
2.
Mr Renton may wish to look at the record. It is
clear that the robust arguments of the Governor played a large part in bringing Unofficials to their decision not to press further on behalf of the ethnic minorities.
