TO PRIORITY FCO TELNO 70 OF 16 AUGUST 1979

YOUR TELNOS 50 AND 52 TO ANGUILLA

NATIONALITY LAWS.

HACK 300!!.

RECEIVED IN REGISTRY MO. 51 20 AUG 1979

DESK INDEY No

MY OWN VIEW IS THAT

BOTH TELEGRAMS ARRIVED 16 AUGUST.

ALTHOUGH NEW PROPOSALS ARE AN IMPROVEMENT PEOPLE OF MONTSERRAT WILL STILL BE HIGHLY CRITICAL BECAUSE THEY

BELIEVE THEY DESERVE SPECIAL, CONSIDERATION BECAUSE OF THEIR

SMALL NUMBERS AND THREE AND A HALF CENTURIES OF DEPENDENCE STATUS. I FAVOUR ACCURATE BUT CUMBERSOME DESCRIPTION OR A VARIATION ON IT SUCH AS CITIZENSHIP OF BRITISH

DEPENDENCY.
