HC Deb 12 December 1972 vol 848 c124W
Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what provisions citizens of Bangladesh are British subjects in the law of the United Kingdom.

Mr. R. Carr

I understand that as yet there is no Bangladesh citizenship law. Pending further legislation, people from Bangladesh who are still citizens of Pakistan remain British subjects in United Kingdom law by virtue of Pakistan's inclusion in the list of Commonwealth countries in Section 1(3) of the British Nationality Act 1948.
