BRITISH STATUS
Commons’ Bill Affects Women (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter—Copyright) LONDON, June 20. The House of Commons has passed a bill to enable about Im women in former British colonial territories in Asia and Africa to become British subjects. It gives this status to an alien woman married to a British subject who is a citizen neither of the United Kingdom and colonies nor of a Commonwealth country. There are about a million such women living in India, Pakistan, Ceylon and different parts of Asia and Africa. The bill would confer the same rights on alien wives of British subjects without citizenship living in Eire.
