MR MALCOLM RIFKIND

Some 19,000 patrials in Hong Kong will become British citizens on 1 January 1983.

There is an unknown, but probably small, number of other persons with right of admission or readmission under the Immigration Act or Rules. Immigration status is unchanged by the British Nationality Act, 1981.
