YOUR TELNO 45 : BRITISH UNDERTAKINGS
1. I HAVE TODAY 7 FEBRUARY SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL TO THE GOVERNOR A LIST OF 781 NAMES WHICH MIGHT BE CONSIDERED AS BRITISH UNDERTAKINGS UNDER THE BRITISH NATIONALITY (HK) ACT. THE LIST HAS GONE FORWARD IN TWO VERSIONS. THE FIRST IS A LIST IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER WITH NO COMMENTARY. THIS I ASSUME IS THE VERSION THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED. THE SECOND IS AS SUBMITTED TO THE FCO AND DTI WHEREBY THE COMPANIES ARE DIVIDED INTO CATEGORIES A G CORRESPONDING TO THE CATEGORIES UNDER THE CRITERIA WHICH WE HAVE USED, WITH AN EXPLANATION OF HOW THESE WERE JUDGED TO QUALIFY. THIS VERSION IS OFFERED IN ORDER TO INDICATE HOW THE CONCLUSIONS WERE REACHED. I ASSUME IT WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED.
-
2. IT WILL BE UNDERSTOOD THAT THE LIST IS NOT A DEFINITIVE ONE. NEW NAMES ARE COMING TO US THROUGH DIRECT APPLICANTS FROM COMPANIES, AND MANY MORE WILL BE THROWN UP BY THE APPLICATION PROCESS. THE ADVISORY GROUP COMMITTEE IS NOT LIKELY TO MEET AGAIN UNTIL THE WEEK BEGINNING 18 FEBRUARY, LARGELY BECAUSE OF ABSENCES OF COMMITTEE MEMBERS OVER NEXT WEEK'S CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY.
