Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

My Lords, there is a bit of confusion between us, because I am talking not about people who may register under the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1997 but about people who may or will register under the provisions of the government amendment and the type of citizenship that they get or can transmit to their children. We are not going to resolve the issue across the Floor of the House this afternoon. I reiterate the gratitude that I have already expressed to the Minister for the discussions that we have had behind the scenes and for the comprehensive analysis of the proposals made by the Government and the Bill team. For the time being, and with the hope that we may return to this subject in future, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 43A (to Amendment 43) withdrawn. Amendment 43 agreed.
