After much chatter from Paul and after being asked a POR question by a
member of this newsgroup, I note from rules 3.1c and 3.1d that we need to
determine whether or not a child who comes along is a "british subject"[1]
or not. [Because we need to seek the DCs permission to admit them if
not]....

Does anyone actually follow this really strange rule?

[1] according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_subject you need to be
a lawyer to work this one out... although it is mostly

A person who is:
(a) a British citizen, a British Overseas Territories citizen or a British
Overseas citizen; or
(b) a person who under the British Nationality Act 1981 is a British
subject; or
(c) a British protected person (within the meaning of that Act).
