1. Chris Hayward has pointed out to me that you never received an answer to the question posed in paragraph 3 of Mr Stephens' minute of 3 February. We have since spoken and you confirmed that the answer to this question might still be relevant. attach a copy of a circular which was sent to all Heads of Department, among others. You will wish to note that the use of the term "British Subject" as a common description of all Commonwealth citizens ceased on implementation of the British Nationality Act 1981 and the term "Commonwealth citizen" alone is now in use. You will also wish to note that BN(0)s are Commonwealth citizens (Section 7(1) of the Hong Kong (British Nationality) Order 1986).
2. If you need any further advice on this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
