From its creation in 1801 until 1962, the UK had no legal controls on free movement from the British colonies / empire to the UK, when *limited* controls were introduced 2/3
On 1 Jan 1973 UK ended this partial free movement for the colonies, and replaced it with free movement for the EEC. Until 30 Dec 2020. 3/3
PS. UK does still allow free movement for Irish citizens, and has extended it to those arriving from outside the British/Irish isles.
