	British nationality - children of Indian origin born in Hong Kong
		The British Nationality (Hong Kong) Act 1997 was enacted only after expressions of concern in both houses of parliament and representations from the governor of Hong Kong, two former incumbents, the Hong Kong Legislative Council, the House of Commons Select Committee on Foreign Affairs, and a former minister with responsibility for the colony.
		British authorities estimate that 600 British citizenship applications from children in Hong Kong were wrongly refused on the basis of the previous guidance, mostly dating from the period July 1997 to June 1999.
		After establishing the claim to British Overseas citizenship, as long as the child continues to have no other nationality, the child will be entitled to registration as a full British citizen (with right of abode in the UK) under section 4B of the British Nationality Act 1981.

	British nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BOTC (formerly BDTC) is the form of British nationality held by connection with an existing overseas territory.
		The requirements for naturalisation as a British citizen depend on whether one is married to a British citizen or not.
		British nationals who are naturalised or registered may have their certificates revoked (and hence lose British nationality) if British nationality was obtained by fraud or concealment of a material fact.

	Background to British Nationality Law from BritainUSA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A British woman marrying an alien lost her British subject status automatically on marriage, before 1933 whether or not she acquired her husband's citizenship; from that date onwards she lost it only if she acquired the nationality of her husband.
		The nationality of minor children was tied to that of their father or widowed mother, and they gained or lost British subject status accordingly.
		The United Kingdom legislation, the British Nationality Act 1948, created the status of British subject: Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (BS/CUKC) for all those whose connection was with the United Kingdom itself or with a place which, on 1 January 1949, was still a colony.

	Nationality And Passports: British Nationality - The Irish Dimension
		The first aspect of the issue is to differentiate between British citizenship and British nationality, and the second is to clarify the distinction between holding British nationality and the 'right of abode' in the United Kingdom.
		The British Nationality Act 1948 created a citizenship of the UK and Colonies for those people who had a link to the UK (as it was in 1948) and the colonies which were British at the time.
		If you have British nationality, whether you could transmit this to your own children born in Southern Ireland is highly dependent on when your children were born and what category of British nationality you ended up with under the 1981 Act.

		Please note in particular that if you were a British overseas territories citizen, a British Dependent Territories citizen, a British National (Overseas), or a British Overseas citizen and you were subsequently registered or naturalised as a British citizen, you did not lose your original citizenship automatically on registration or naturalisation.

		You should send evidence such as a passport issued to you by the other country of which you are a national, or a statement by the authorities of that country that you are one of their nationals.
