Mr Morris

British Nationality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance Jumbo bwana
(Chapter 186)
ISSUE OF 48-PAGE HONG KONG BRITISH DEPENDENT TERRITORIES CITIZEN AND BRITISH NATIONAL (OVERSEAS) PASSPORTS IN THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY COMMON FORMAT
M 21/4
THE PROBLEM
As HMG has introduced the "jumbo" (48-page) version of the common format passport (CFP) since 1 January 1992, we need to issue the "jumbo" version of Hong Kong British Dependent Territories Citizen (HKBDTC) and British National (Overseas) [BN(O)] CFPs as soon as practicable.
A
RECOMMENDATION AND ADVICE SOUGHT
2
It is recommended that -
(a) “jumbo" HKBDTC and BN(O) CFPs should be issued
with effect from 1 May 1992; and
(b)
the British Nationality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Amendment of Schedule) Order 1992, at Annex A, should be made to set the fees for the "jumbo" HKBDTC CFPs.
3
Members will be asked to advise whether this recommendation should be approved.
