Never even heard of it - but I can see two possible reasons for it:-

1. Determining an appropriate Promise for those who cannot promise to
do their duty to the Queen because of another national allegiance;

2. Allowing discretion to be used for an adult who is effectively "un-
CRB-able" because their past record will not be accessible to the CRB
or Association by being in another country.
