§ Lord AVEBURYasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will publish the comments which the Home Office has so far received on the Green Paper British Nationality Law: Discussion of Possible Changes (Cmnd. 6795) which appeared in April 1977 and which invited comments from the public and from interested bodies "as part of the process of open government".
§ The MINISTER of STATE, HOME OFFICE (Lord Boston of Faversham)So far nearly 250 persons or organisations have sent in comments on the Green Paper. Understandably there is a good deal of repetition and Her Majesty's Government do not intend to publish all of this material verbatim. It is open to any of the authors of papers to publish them and some have done so at least in substance. Her Majesty's Government will have in mind the possibility of publishing in due course a summary of all comments received.
