Clause 2 - Commonwealth: provision in connection with Cameroon and Mozambique
Commonwealth Bill
11:45 am
Mr Ivor Caplin (Assistant Whip (funded by HM Treasury); Hove, Labour)
The Government fully support the clause as a tidying-up measure following the admission of Cameroon and Mozambique to the Commonwealth in 1995. I clarify that citizens of Cameroon and Mozambique already have the status of Commonwealth citizens for the purposes of the British Nationality Act 1981 by virtue of the British Nationality (Cameroon and Mozambique) Order 1998. Therefore, no further provision is necessary in that respect.
