But he also made it quite clear that if any British national were in the future to come under pressure to leave Hong Kong we would expect the Government to consider sympathetically the case for admission to the United Kingdom.
Finally, you asked about discussions with the Indian Government regarding the ethnic Indians in Hong Kong. The ethnic Indians who are affected by the Order in Council are British Dependent Territories citizens and comprise about 39% of the ethnic minority BDTCS in Hong Kong. The provisions we are making to prevent statelessness apply only to those BDTCs in Hong Kong who have no other nationality. They will therefore affect only those of the ethnic Indian BDTCs who are not Indian citizens and thus are not the official concern of the Indian Government (although we recognise of course that there may be emotional ties).
