To ask Her Majesty's Government what will be the
position of the Pitcairners under the 1981 British
Nationality Act.
A.
Under the 1981 British Nationality Act the Pitcairners
will become British Dependent Territory citizens and
their right of abode on Pitcairn will be confirmed.
As at present they will not have an automatic right
of abode in the UK. However, our responsibility for
their welfare and protection will be unchanged.
