1. Would you please refer to Mrs Barnes Jones' letter of 5 August on the above mentioned subject.
2.
We have been asked to produce some defensive briefing for Mr Goodlad who is meeting the Indian Foreign Minister next week. I should be grateful to know therefore, if you are yet in a position to let us have the answer about people of Indian origin holding BDTC and BN (0) passports being able to apply for Indian citizenship if they wish. With
apologies for the short notice could you please let me know by tomorrow.
