British Nationality Hong Kong: Orders in Council
24
Thank you for your letter of 12 February seeking my
agreement and that of other OPD (K) colleagues to the Home
Office proceeding with the drafting of two Orders in
Council relating to British Nationality in Hong Kong.
I agree that the two Orders in Council should now be
drafted.
2.
3. I note that you anticipate being able to lay them before Parliament in May this year. I appreciate that
there is still a lot of work to be done before the Orders
are ready, but would welcome their introduction to
Parliament as early as possible, in order to give Hong Kong
the maximum possible time for publicising the details. My officials will do all they can to help in the preparatory
stages.
4.
I am copying this minute to the Prime Minister and
other members of OPD(K), to the Lord President and to
Sir Robin Butler.
