the name of any person who is for the time being a person to whom paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of section 3 refers."
Explanatory Honorandum
This Bill would amend the Gibraltarian Status Ordinance (Chapter 70)
to provide that any person who is British citizen by virtue of
registration under section 5 of the British Hationality Act 1971 or the
is a British Dependent Territories citizen by virtue of a connection with
Gibraltar, is a Gibraltarian for the purposes of the principal Ordinance and
is entitled to have his name kept on the Register of Gibraltarians.
The expression "British Dependent Territories citizen by virtue of a
connection with Gibraltar" would be defined in the Interpretation and
General Clauses Ordinance. In general terms, it would mean a citizen by virtue of birth, registration or naturalisation in Gibraltar.
The Bill would come into operation
on 1 January 1983.
