"and which is so taken in relation to a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies who has the right of abode in the United Kingdom",so that the said paragraph shall henceforth read as follows-
"2. Action taken, in any country or territory outside the United Kingdom, by or on behalf of any officer representing or acting under the authority of Her Majesty in respect of the United Kingdom, or any other officer of the Government of the United Kingdom other than action which is taken by an officer (not being an honorary consular officer) in the exercise of a consular function on behalf of the Government of the United Kingdom.".

(This note is not part of the Order)
By virtue of paragraph 2 of Schedule 3 to the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1967, as amended by the Parliamentary Commissioner Order 1979, the jurisdiction of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Administration extends to action taken in the exercise of a consular function by a career consular officer on condition that the action complained of was taken in relation to a United Kingdom citizen with the right of abode in the United Kingdom. This Order removes this condition, thereby extending the jurisdiction of the Parliamentary Commissioner to the generality of actions taken in the exercise of consular functions by such officers.
As amended by the Parliamentary Commissioner Order 1979 (S.I. 1979/915).
