Explanatory Note
First Schedule to the British Nationality Act 1981 (Consequential Amendments) Bill 1982
When this Bill was first issued to Members for
consideration on 30 September 1982, the substitution
proposed to be made in items 6, 7, 8 and 11 of the
First Schedule was "British citizen, a British Dependent
Territories citizen or a British Overseas citizen"
(or the plural thereof, as appropriate).

On further consideration, as these items now show,
the proposed substitution is "Commonwealth citizen (s)"
consistently with all other substitutions of "British
