PRIVACY MARKING

DSR 11C (Revised 5/87)

We are as you know working urgently with the Home office

on a nationality package, details of which will be

announced as soon as possible. In advance of this, it

would be impossible for us to give a substantive response

to the Committee's recommendations on nationality, which

are of course a central element in the Report. Moreover,

the new Foreign Secretary and his Ministerial colleagues

would like a little more time to familiarise themselves

with the other substantial issues before reaching any

firm conclusions about the Committee's recommendations.

In Confidence

We are therefore aiming to publish our response in

the autumn, before Parliament reconvenes. I would be

grateful for confirmation that this would be acceptable.
