HONG KONG: OFFER OF GIBRALTAR RESIDENT PERMITS
Points to Make

If it is to reinforce our efforts, the Gibraltar scheme will have to provide the assurance of a right of residence without the recipient needing to leave the territory.

It should also avoid an automatic entitlement to British
citizenship, which would raise the problem of exceeding the 50,000 limit placed on our Nationality Package by
Parliament.
