BRITISH NATIONALITY (HONG KONG) ACT 1990:
BRITISH UNDERTAKINGS LIST
A
B
C
1.
I submit for Ministerial approval two further lists of 172 British Undertakings approved by the Advisory Group in
Hong Kong. (A third list has been refeed back to the BTC
for clarification.)
2. Following previous practice the DTI have checked with
Companies House in respect of those companies which claimed a connection with a British registered company. They found that a number of companies on the third list were not
registered and we are therefore looking further into them in
order to resolve their status. In addition, two on list 2
are subject to query, Gilman Engineering and Peter Fraenkel
Consultants (HK) Ltd, (marked with an X on the list). As
for the other names forwarded to us by Hong Kong, apart from
a few minor comments which have now been resolved, the DTI
are content and have approved them.
3. We are satisfied that all the names on these lists
qualify under our established guidelines. For ease of
reference I attach a consolidated list of the various
categories used for defining a British Undertaking. I
recommend that the names should go forward to the Governor
