There are no financial risks to HMG in a short fall.
Section 5 of the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act
provides for the Home Secretary to recover from the Governor of Hong Kong any expenses incurred by Home Office officials
in connection with the scheme.
HMG/HKG SHOULD MAKE EXTRA EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO
APPLY
- The virtue of the scheme is that the option of an insurance policy has been available. It is entirely up to
Hong Kong people themselves whether they wish to take it
up. HMG is not in the business of trawling.
Any places not taken up in the first tranche will be
available for the second tranche closer to 1997.
