HC Deb 01 December 1998 vol 321 c160W
Mr. Bob Russell

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans he has to restore full British citizenship to residents of the island of St. Helena. [61399]

Mr. Tony Lloyd

The issue of British citizenship for residents of all UK Overseas Territories who do not already have it is a complex one. It is being considered sympathetically in the context of the current Review of UK Overseas Territories and the result will be published in the White Paper. We expect to publish the Paper early in the current session of Parliament.
