Wives and widows of ex-servicemen
- The immigration and nationality status of British citizens
and former servicemen was debated very fully during the
passage of the British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1990.
Parliament decided not to exempt these people from the residential requirements prescribed by the British
Nationality Act 1981, but the Home Secretary gave assurances
that the wives and widows of former servicemen would be
allowed to settle in the United Kingdom at any time in the
future.
Registration of children of split families
The Home Secretary agreed last September to look 'generously and speedily' at applications from families in this
anomalous position. So far 144 applications have been
granted.
