4. The second point is nationality.
As the paper makes
clear, there are arguments for and against including
provisions on nationality in the legislation. The
conclusion now reached, that there should be an enabling
clause in the Bill conferring powers to make subsidiary
legislation on nationality with certain specified
purposes arising from the agreement, represents a
consensus between the Foreign and Commonwealth Secretary,
the Home Secretary, and the parliamentary business
managers.
5.
There is now considerable urgency about this as we
think it essnêtial to get instructions to parliamentary
counsel very soon. I hope that you can let me know as
soon as possible that the Prime Minister is content with
what is proposed.
