HL Deb 03 November 1999 vol 606 c86WA
The Earl of Iveagh

asked her Majesty's Government:

In light of their White Paper on Overseas Territories, when they will fulfil their commitment to implement or introduce full British nationality for the British subjects of Saint Helena and her dependencies. [HL4220]

Baroness Scotland of Asthal

The White Paper commitments on nationality will require primary legislation. The issues are complex and we are working on the preparation of the necessary legislation. We plan to bring forward legislation when the parliamentary timetable permits.
