No provision is made in respect of citizens of Singapore because they are already qualified persons under the Copyright Act 1956 by reason of being British subjects (that is, Commonwealth citizens) within the meaning of that Act. The Order extends to the dependent countries of the Commonwealth to which the 1956 Act has been extended, with the exception of Bermuda and Gibraltar.",
