MR.
SOHMEN
: Sir, could the Secretary for Security clarify
whether his reference to the 1,202 entry permits for wives and
children applies to persons who would be entitled to apply for
British Dependent Territory citizenship under the British Nationality Act of 1981, or is it a separate category?
Secretary for Security : Sir, that would depend on the circumstances
of each case.
Prof. POON: Sir, I would like to ask the Secretary how many
applications for Visitor Permits have been rejected in the same
period?
Secretary for Security : Sir, the number of applications from wives
and children so far is 1,875.
