Before I close, allow me to clarify my understanding of articles 3 and 4 of the draft order.
A BDTC ceases to be one on 1st July 1997.
On 1st July 1987 onwards a BDTC is eligible to be
In other registered as a BN(0). This is an option open to him. words it is within his choice to opt for a BDTC passport whether it is a first application or renewal until immediately before 1st July 1997, or if he so wish, he can be registered as a BN(0) and to hold a BN (0) passport.
Finally Sir, I wish to associate myself with Mr J J Swaine's call for the automatic permission to land in the U.K. for every BN(0) passport holder. I believe such a move not only removes the uncertainty that surrounds the existing optional certificate of entry, but will also help Britain tremendously in receiving visa abolition agreements for Hong Kong with third
countries.
