I realise the difficulties of obtaining this information readily, and you
may well feel that some of the smaller dependencies are so unlikely to have
contemplated measures of this kind that they need not be consulted. Our
general impression, however, is that naturalisation is granted very sparingly
in most dependencies and that therefore, even where a measure comparable to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 exists in a dependency, the dependency
concerned would not permit applicants for citizenship at discretion to benefit
from its provisions. But we should be glad to have your views.
I enclose for your information a leaflet which sets out the main provisions
of the 1974 Act.
Yours sincerely John Lyme суча
