Yes, other Dependent Territories are in the process of
introducing ordinances but legislative programmes are the
responsibility of the individual territory and are subject
to change. No accurate estimate' of timing can be given.
5. Are any persons, who before the British Nationality
Act 1981 had the right of abode in the Dependent Territories,
particularly former citizens of the United Kingdom and
Colonies, British Protected Persons, etc, now deprived.
If so, how many and of what origin. Are there any stateless?
No.
6.
Do British Citizens have the automatic right of abode
in the Dependent Territories?
No.
Their admission is dependent on the immigration
Rules of the territory concerned.
17.
Have there been representations from other Dependent
Territories asking for similar treatment to that given to the Falklands?
There have been representations made by the Legislative
Council of St Helena. However, the Governor has written
to councillors individually explaining that the British
Nationality (Falklands Islands) Bill should not be
regarded as a precedent for other dependent territories.
