Thank you for your letter of 22 March 1991.
I understand the feeling of the Hong Kong Bar Association. I have no doubt that the easiest way to

the definition of "British undertaking" in Article 7 of
the British Nationality (Hong Kong) (Selection Scheme)
Order 1990. Moreover, such membership is incidental to
call to the English Bar, which of course already attracts
the maximum points for professional qualification in the
