Notes: (1) Application received w.e.f. 7 June 1991.

(2) Workload is estimated on the following assumptions :-

(a) All beneficiaries under the British Nationality Selection Scheme will apply for a BC passport before 30 June 1997.

(b) The average family size of a successful household under the scheme is 2.75.

(c) Applications for BC passports will be spread evenly throughout the period from 1 March 1993 to 30 June 1997.

(d) Estimated workload for 1996/97 :

[ (no. of households x family size) - (no. of passport applications received upto 28 February 1993) ] ÷ (total no. of months from March 1993 to June 1997) X 12

= [ (50,000 x 2.75) - 23,533 ] ÷ 52 x 12
