CHILDREN OF BRITISH CITIZEN PARENTS IN HONG KONG
Many thanks for your letter of 2 September.
I am grateful to you for looking again at this problem, and for coming up with a generous set of criteria. Alastair
Goodlad was able to discuss them with Dr C H Leong (the Hong
Kong Legislative Council member who has been at the forefront
of this issue) on 3 September. Dr Leong agreed that the criteria should cover the great majority of the applicants, and was very pleased with the outcome.
I
I therefore confirm that we accept your proposal. think it would make a considerable impact in Hong Kong if we can make an early start on registering successful applicants, and therefore hope that implementation can begin quickly.
