Consular posts (and by the UK Passport Offices) to those British nationals who are not UK nationals for EC purposes. This passport, like the proposed common European Community passport will be burgundy red, soft covered and of smaller size than the present document. On the cover is likely to be the wording 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' the Royal Emblem and 'Passport' and the wording on the inside cover will refer to 'Her Brittanic Majesty's Secretary of State'. In all these respects the passport is likely to be very similar to the document issued to those British nationals who are UK nationals for European Community purposes but the latter will in addition contain the words 'European Community' on the cover.
6. [Hong Kong to indicate whether they intend to change to new format for BDTC passports but with Hong Kong on the cover and the Governor's rubric or if they will use up existing stocks of the present hard blue document.]
Price of the BN (0) Passport
7. While the Order in Council provides that no fee will be charged for registration in BN (0) status, there will be a fee for the passport. The level has not been decided.
It will be levied under
the Consular Fees Act 1980 (not the Hong Kong Immigration Regulations) and will be standard for all UK passport issuing posts around the world, save for variations arising from rates of currency
exchange.
8. The fee for the BDTC passport in Hong Kong would be levied under the Hong Kong Immigration Regulations and would be set by the Governor. Elsewhere it would be set under the Consular Fees Act
1980.
