Commonwealth Immigration Act 1968
- Commonwealth Immigration Act 1968
The Commonwealth Immigration Act 1968 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The law amends the Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1962, further modifying rights of citizens of the Commonwealth of Nations countries (now comprising approximately 1.9 Billion people, including New Zealand, Australia, The Republic of India, Islamic Republic of Pakistan (which included East Pakistan province), some African Nations including Nigeria and many Caribbean islands) to migrate to the UK.
The act was superseded by the Immigration Act 1971.
These Acts resulted in widespread opposition in Britain from a variety of political groups, but most notably the Conservative Monday Club, whose Member of Parliament members were very active and vocal in their opposition to immigration. Other wikipedia references to the acts include Harold Macmillan's "Wind of Change (speech)".
