HC Deb 18 February 1983 vol 37 cc277-8W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many colonies had United Kingdom representatives sent out specially to hear representations concerning the then British Nationality Bill; what were the costs involved; and what comments have been received following the Royal Assent to the Act.

Mr. Rifkind

No representatives were sent to the dependencies specifically to discuss the British Nationality Bill, but governors were informed and consulted at every stage. Their comments since Royal Assent have been mainly concerned with the administration of the Act, and have been fully taken into account.
