Dear Sir,

It was good to learn of Chief Justice Kawaley’s sagacious decision to award status to British Overseas naturalised citizens, thereby erasing longstanding errors on the part of the Department of Immigration.

Perhaps the good Chief Justice could right another immigration department wrong by reinstating the right to vote to those who were wrongly disenfranchised in the mid-Seventies by the visiting Lord Carrington, who improperly decreed that only those who were registered to vote at the previous election would be permitted to vote in the future.

Many of those so disenfranchised were on the voters list. Surprisingly, the Government did not challenge that improper decision.

That said, the Government still has the opportunity to erase that wrong by reinstating that right.

Are they up for it?
