PROTECTION-CLAIMS.]
[Chap. XXII.
13. British subjects and British-protected persons possessing a
second nationality cannot receive British protection in the country
of their second nationality, although they may be registered, as
provided for in paragraph 18 of Chapter XXVII of these Instruc
tions, and, where the local authorities do not object, they may
receive passports in accordance with the terms of paragraph 9 of
Chapter XXVI of the Instructions.
14. The fact that a British subject or a British-protected
person possesses a second nationality does not dehor him from British
protection in a country which is not that of his second nationality.
15. Where a British subject or a British-protected person
applies to a Consular officer for protection, and the Consular officer
thinks that there is reason to believe that he is also a subject or
citizen of the country in which he is resident, he may require him
to produce evidence that by the local law he is not a subject or
citizen of that country.*
lb. It should be noted that British-protected persons cannot
claim the same right to land in the United Kingdom as British
subjects, and are subject in this respect to the ordinary restrictions
imposed on foreigners.
17. Persons holding local certificates of naturalization as
British subjects, issued under the local law of one of His
Majesty’s Dominions or Colonies, or of India (see Chapter XXV,
paragraph 4 (hi)), may only receive the good offices of His
Majesty’s Diplomatic and Consular officers as a matter of courtesy,
and then only subject to their being persons of good character and
undoubted loyalty, and to their not having lost their claim to the
good offices of Ilis Majesty’s Government by 7 prolonged residence
outside the Empire. These conditions may in general be regarded
as fulfilled by persons provided with valid passports issued by the
Government of the Dominion or Colony in which they were
naturalized, or by some other competent authority. Doubtful
cases should be referred to the Secretary of State for instructions,
except in the case of persons whose last place of residence was, or
vvho were naturalized, in a Dominion. In such cases the
Consular officer may, at his discretion, refer direct to the
Government of the Dominion concerned.
^ ^ am Consular officers should be g-overned by the local regulations as to the
classes of persons who should be protected:
