B. WHAT AMENDMENTS TO THE IMMIGRATION ACT ARE PROPOSED?

THE NATIONALITY BILL WILL INCLUDE CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS

TO THE IMMIGRATION ACT. MUCH OF THE AMENDMENTS WILL

CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE TERM 'PATRIAL' BY THE

TERM BRITISH CITIZEN'. WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF USING THE

NATIONALITY BILL TO AMEND THE IMMIGRATION ACT IN WAYS

UNCONNECTED WITH THE CHANGES IN THE NATIONALITY LAW.
