Article 2(1)(e) refers to BDTCs who are such
through a grandparental connection. This accords
with section 23(1)(b) of the British Nationality Act
1981, which provides that a CUKC born to a person who
was a CUKC by his or one of his parent's birth,
naturalisation or registration in a dependent
territory became a BDTC on 1 January 1983.

Article 2 (1) (f) refers to women who became
BDTCS by marriage in the circumstances set out in
section 23 (1) (c) of the British Nationality Act
1981. This provides that a woman who was a CUCK
!
immediately before 1 January 1983 became a BDTC on
that date if she was then, or had at any time been
the wife of a man who became a BDTC on 1 January
1983, or who would have done so but for his death.

Article 2 (2) defines the term 'registration'
in paragraph (1). Were the term 'registered' to be
left undefined there could be some doubt whether it
included registration as a citizen of the United
Kingdom and Colonies under the British Nationality
Act 1948.
