Your other idea of granting the oldest 15,000 passports on compassionate grounds is also appealing in theory, but it would go against the principles of the selection scheme, which gives an advantage to those
between the ages of 30 and 40.

It is always unfortunate having to disappoint unsuccessful applicants, but there is evidence that there has already been a considerable amount of self de-selection; because the points scheme is so transparent
it appears that only those who worked out that they
had a good chance of success have applied. It would be unfair on those who decided not to apply if we now changed the rules. The selection scheme is in any case
so detailed and objective that the Governor's task of picking out the unsuccessful candidates is much simplified.
We are confident that the nationality scheme has
already done its job in helping to restore confidence in
Hong Kong.
