TRANSCRIPT C; SELECT COMMITTER ON HONG KONG
12 JUNE 1989
-10-
SIR DAVID VILSON:
I think, Mr. Taylor, it is a question mostly of
people being born there, not having arrived there, Of
course, somebody who arrives after a lengthy period of
time can become a British citizen with a British Hong Kong
passport, but the vast majority of people who were not
there befure 1962 who are there now were born, not
arrived.
MR. IAN TAYLOR:
Could you give any idea of the numbers?
SIR DAVID WILSON :
I could easily provide the Committee with that
information but I do not have it in my head.
MR. CANAVAR:
In an
earlier reply to Peter Temple-Morris, Sir
David, you used the term "right of entry" rather than
"right of abode",
Is there a significant difference in
that terminology and if 50, Would you care to elaborate on
the distinction between "right of abode" and "right of
entry and whether "right of entry" could develop into a
right of permanent abode?
No comments yet.
