British Nationality Act 1981 (1981 c 61)

The 1981 legislation established the modern framework for British citizenship, significantly reforming nationality laws. It introduced three distinct categories of British nationality: British citizenship, British Dependent Territories citizenship, and British Overseas citizenship. It abolished the former notion of British subject status, aligning the framework with a post-colonial context. The act emphasized citizenship by descent, tightening registration and naturalisation routes. This restructuring was necessary to manage the nationality rights amidst evolving immigration patterns, decolonization, and the need to clearly define citizenship entitlements within the United Kingdom and its remaining territories.
