CHAIRMAN :

I think what interests the Committee is whether there is not
middle way here.
they have
Que sees the provisions of the 1962 and 1971 legislation in
the 1986 British Nationality (Hong Kong) Order, but do you feel we
are being as flexible and understanding about this as we should?
Obviously, it is not a question as with the Portuguese
100.000 and that is it and it is not a question of all 3.28
million British dependent territory citizens being given right of
abode, but is there perhaps a cast for something a little more
flexible than seems to far, from what we understand, to have been
the policy?
