An annotated version of the British Nationality Act of 1981 can be found in volume 31 of the Halsbury Statutes of England and Wales, which is available in Regional Documentation Centres. A commentary on British nationality is also available in French in the attached November 1985 Stanbrook document. For the most up to date information on the status of British legislation on nationality, please find attached excerpts of European Bulletin on Nationality (Council of Europe Mar. 1996, 177-82).
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
