Should our denunciation attract any critical comment we will

take the line that the new Nationality Act embodies the principle

of sex equality, whereas the 1957 Convention discriminates in

favour of one sex.

I am sending a copy of this Despatch to HM Commissioner

Anguilla, to the Governors of Bermuda, British Virgin Islands,

Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Montserrat,

Pitcairn, Saint Helena and Dependencies, Turks and Caicos Islands,

to the British Government Representative St Christopher and Nevis,

the Commissioner, British Indian Ocean Territory, the Ministry

of Defence (for the Administrator of the Sovereign Base Areas of

Akrotiri and Dhekelia) and to the High Commissioner in Bandar

Seri Begawan (for the Brunei authorities).

I am Sir

Yours faithfully

CONFIDENTIAL
