Action Taken
1.
Following the
Secretary of
State's
endorsement of
344 Mr Westmacott's minute of 11 March, I urged on Home Office
officials Our view that the Secretary of State and Home
Secretary should jointly recommend to OD (K) that HMG agree to endorse BN (O) passports with the formula:
"In
accordance
wi th
the
United Kingdom
of this passport
immigration rules, the holder
does not require a visa or entry certificate to
visit the United Kingdom",
using the arguments in Mr Westmacott's minute. Home Office officials at working level were sympathetic, and agreed to
submit in this sense. But I heard by telephone from them
today that the Home Secretary has written to the Secretary
of State saying he thinks HMG should include the word
"current" in the endorsement ("in accordance with the
current UK immigration rules...
"), and enclosing a
draft of a letter to OD (K).
