Article 1 sets out the title and commencement date of the
Order and ensures that it forms part of the law of Northern
Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the
Dependent Territories.
C
So
Commencement should be no later than 1 July 1987 in order to
enable passports recording BN(0) status to be issued on or
after that date with the standard 10 year validity (those
recording only BDTC status could not be made valid beyond
30 June 1997). This arrangement will also give maximum time
for the issuing authorities to cope with applications for
BN(0) passports; and also give time for third countries
to grow accustomed to the new nationality status.
