CONSULTATION WITH DEPENDENCIES ON NEW NATIONALITY LEGISLATION

1.

It has been decided that you may consult your

political advisers on a strictly confidential basis about

the new legislation. My immediately following telegram

contains summary of the proposals now being considered for

inclusion in the new law which would involve significant

departures from current legislation.

2.

The description of the provisions is deliberately

short and omits any indication of the probability of

acceptance.

Nevertheless, it should be sufficient to alert

those concerned to any features which might have special

significance for a particular dependency. The reference to

categories and nomenclature does not indicate which titles

are still under consideration and you should not, repeat

/not,
