  • Immigration Law Affecting Commonwealth Citizens Who Entered the United Kingdom Before 1973
    © 2018 Bruce Mennell (04/05/18) Immigration Law Affecting Commonwealth Citizens who entered the United Kingdom before 1973 Summary This article outlines the immigration law and practices of the United Kingdom applying to Commonwealth citizens who came to the UK before 1973, primarily those who had no ancestral links with the British Isles. It attempts to identify which Commonwealth citizens automatically acquired indefinite leave to enter or remain under the Immigration Act 1971, and what evidence may be available today. This article was inspired by the problems faced by many Commonwealth citizens who arrived in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s, who have not acquired British citizenship and who are now experiencing difficulty demonstrating that they have a right to remain in the United Kingdom under the current law of the “Hostile Environment”. In the ongoing media coverage, they are often described as the “Windrush Generation”, loosely suggesting those who came from the West Indies in about 1949. However, their position is fairly similar to that of other immigrants of the same era from other British territories and newly independent Commonwealth countries, which this article also tries to cover. Various conclusions arise. Home Office record keeping was always limited. The pre 1973 law and practice is more complex than generally realised. The status of pre-1973 migrants in the current law is sometimes ambiguous or unprovable. The transitional provisions of the Immigration Act 1971 did not intersect cleanly with the earlier law leaving uncertainty and gaps. An attempt had been made to identify categories of Commonwealth citizens who entered the UK before 1973 and acquired an automatic right to reside in the UK on 1 January 1973.

  • Supplementary Written Evidence Submitted by Amnesty International UK (WCS0010)
    WCS0010 Supplementary written evidence submitted by Amnesty International UK (WCS0010) Introduction: 1. Amnesty International UK (AIUK) makes this supplementary submission in the light of the oral evidence received by the Committee on 9 December 2020, specifically the evidence from Martin Forde QC, Independent Adviser to the Windrush Compensation Scheme.1 Evidence from Martin Forde QC: 2. In his response to the Chair towards the start of the evidence session, Mr Forde gave a brief but powerful summary of his personal experience and that of his parents. This has important relevance to the matters raised in our first submission to this inquiry.2 In short, Mr Forde explained that his parents moved to the UK in the 1950s from Barbados. Mr Forde describes his parents as ‘thinking’ they were ‘fully British’. He and his brother were later born in the UK. On 30 November 1966, Barbados became independent. Mr Forde describes his parents as becoming Bajan ‘again’ and that they then ‘naturalised’ in the UK in 1975. He referred to Home Office correspondence from the time, which had suggested that unless and until his parents’ ‘naturalisation’ the right of he and his brother to be in the UK was in doubt – this despite their having been born in the UK. He describes the impact of reading this correspondence decades later as ‘chilling’.3 3. During that introduction, Mr Forde also highlighted the impact of the UK Borders Act 2007 as a ‘cranking up’ of effective immigration control by employers and service providers.4 Elsewhere in his evidence, he drew the Committee’s attention to the generally more favourable treatment by the Home Office of members of the ‘white Commonwealth’.5 4.

  • Subjects Or Citizens?
    SUBJECTS OR CITIZENS ?: INDIA , PAKISTAN AND THE 1948 BRITISH NATIONALITY ACT Dr Sarah Ansari, History Department, Royal Holloway University of London. Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX. 01784 443314 [email protected] 1 SUBJECTS OR CITIZENS ?: INDIA , PAKISTAN AND THE 1948 BRITISH NATIONALITY ACT * Sarah Ansari Royal Holloway, University of London It is now widely recognised that decolonisation, which picked up momentum from the mid-twentieth century onwards, was an extended affair.1 In the case of British India, independence may have taken place at relatively short notice in August 1947, but tying up the loose ends of empire stretched over many years. In particular, the realignment of subjecthood and citizenship necessitated by decolonisation was protracted, and raised complex questions about identity in both the newly independent states and the former imperial power. Against this backdrop, the following article takes as its focus the drawn-out process of disengagement that followed formal independence in relation to one particular case study: namely the various ways in which Britain sought to square the working of its 1948 Nationality Act with Indian and Pakistani citizenship legislation that took shape in the 1950s. By exploring different aspects of how the Act was interpreted and applied in the South Asian context, it contributes to current understanding of the contested making of citizenship in post-1947 India and Pakistan. In the process, it also argues that while British legislation did not, in the late 1940s and 50s, create a legal distinction between European and non-European British subjects, perceptions about ‘racial identity’ proved time and again to be a major factor in the classification of different categories of UK citizen, with “issues of race becoming more and more explicit in discussions, more and more public in debates” throughout this period.
