any further adjustment which might be needed in the allocation of the special circumstances points to take account of the articular range of applicants and the need to resolve problems of 'bunching'. After the award of these points, a revised
ranking of candidates would be produced. If necessary, the
process would be repeated. Taking account of the number of places available within the group, HKID would then produce a list of those candidates who appeared to be qualified and those who seemed likely to be rejected. These two lists would be submitted to the Steering Group for examination.
21. Those candidates who appeared prima facie to be qualified would be interviewed by HKID in order to verify the information
on their application forms. Checks would also be made to see
whether there was any reason to believe that the candidates were
not of good character.
22.
Subject to satisfactory completion of these checks, details
of the qualified candidates would be put forward by the Steering
Group to the Governor who, if satisfied, would recommend them to
the Secretary of State for registration as British citizens.
Where any candidate failed to satisfy these checks, the next
candidate in order of points ranking would be interviewed, and
similar checks as to character carried out. If successful, he
or she would be recommended for registration. Candidates with
insufficient points, and those who failed to satisfy the
character checks, would be rejected.
23. In the event that a number of candidates scored equal points
and all could not be accommodated within the places available for
each group, the Governor would have discretion to choose whom to recommend for citizenship.
24.
All candidates would be notified of the results of their
applications by HKID.
