RIGHT OF ABODE IN THE UK FOR CERTAIN CHILDREN OF HONG KONG
PARENTS
Problem
1.
45
The attached minute from the Home Secretary in response to the Secretary of State's minute of August on the case of
these children, who are caught by an anomaly in the 1981
Nationality Act.
Recommendation
2. A quick response from the Secretary of State to the Home Secretary accepting his proposal. I submit a draft.
Argument
3. The Home Secretary has responded positively to the
Secretary of State's minute (after Mr Goodlad had been through the problem with the Home Secretary's Special Adviser, Mrs Keswick). The criteria which the Home Office
have produced should (as the Home Secretary's letter makes
clear) have the effect of covering the great majority of the
children concerned.
