23. Ordinary residence for 5 years in the United Kingdon will no longer make a Commonwealth citizen exempt from deportation unless he is granted registration as a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, Registration is not, however, open to persons who are already citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies (e.g. as belonging to a dopondent territory) and the Bill will provide that such a person may not be deported 12 ho has been accepted for permanent residence here and, since being so accepted, has been continuously ordinarily resident for at loast 5 years (time spent on conditions will not count towards the 5 years).
Deportees' wives and children
24. The Home Secretary will have power to include in a deportation order the wife and children of the person against whom the order is mado, and any children of hers. This will cover only dependants who are subject to control. When a deported dependant coases to be dependent (e.g. where a child reaches the age of 18, or a wife is divorced from the person against whom the order was made) any restrictions on re-entry will cease to apply to him
