On the other hand, if we are to segregate the microfilm
records without regard to specified types and cut-off periods, the work
to screen and sift the microfilm images can be substantially reduced,
and hence the manpower resources. The rough estimate on the resource
about 83 requirement is
man-years (other relevant resources
bracketed in para 7 above have not been included). As I have briefly
discussed with you, Howard Parkinson and Terry Rooney, we propose to segregate the microfilm records as follows :-
(a)
(b)
as
microjacket records will be segregated and grouped in their
present form and in the sequence of their serial numbers,
without regard to cut-off periods and grouping by types;
microjacket records will be transferred in one consignment
and by one single move in April 1997, i.e. after the
segregation task is fully completed;
(c) mixed microjacket records as described in para 4(c)(i)
(i.e. containing records for Hong Kong Certificates of
Identity or Hong Kong Documents of Identity and Hong Kong
BDTC passport records (as a result of the individuals
having been naturalised or registered as HKBDTCs)) will be
treated as UK-related records without taking out the CI or
DI records because the individuals concerned have become
British nationals; and
(d)
mixed microjacket records as described in para 4(c)(ii)
(i.e. containing Hong Kong Certificates of Identity or
Hong Kong Documents of Identity applications and entry
clearance applications to UK,
certain Commonwealth
countries and other BDTs) will be screened and sifted in
order to extract those images relating to entry clearance
applications and reshuffle them into other microjackets for
transfer to the future Hong Kong BCG.
