Question
to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether the proposed powers in clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill (HL Bill 82) to enable the Secretary of State to rescind British citizenship without notice for those with or entitled to dual citizenship would apply to anyone automatically (1) in possession of, or (2) entitled to, citizenship of another country based on a parent's country of birth, whether or not they choose to exercise that entitlement; and if so, whether they have notified other national governments of this change.
Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford
- Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)
The use of powers under section 40 may apply regardless of the person’s nationality or country of origin or that of their parents, but it must comply with the UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness.
Clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill relates solely to how a person is notified of a decision to deprive them of their British citizenship. There is no change to the reasons for which a person could be deprived of their British citizenship or to their right of appeal.

"We are going into a wider debate. My personal view is that we should never have abolished the Oxford City Police force in the 1960s, because we never recovered when it became part of Thames Valley Police, and we had our own watch committee.
