HC Deb 16 January 1984 vol 52 c68W
Mr. Foulkes

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department under what circumstances residents of the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man are not eligible for United Kingdom citizenship.

Mr. Waddington

For the purposes of the British Nationality Act 1981, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are treated as part of the United Kingdom. Persons closely connected with the islands have therefore precisely the same eligibility for British citizenship as if their connection had been with the United Kingdom.
