NATIONALITY ACT: INTERPRETATION OF THE TERM 'SETTLED' IN DEPENDENT TERRITORIES

1.

It has been decided that a letter should be sent to the Dependent Territories to determine whether the term 'settled' for the purposes of the BNA 1981 is appropriate to their immigration laws.

I attach a draft probing letter to Governors and should be grateful for comments no later than 25 November 1981.
