Deprivation of Citizenship Orders (Effect during Appeal) Bill

Debate between Lord Jay of Ewelme and Baroness Lister of Burtersett

Report stage & Committee stage
Tuesday 21st October 2025 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Lister of Burtersett (Lab)]

My Lords, I apologise that I was unable to speak at Second Reading, but I have read the debate and listened to the speeches in support of the amendment—of course. As a member of the noble order of terriers who have battled on behalf of children’s citizenship over the years, I have a moral duty to express my moral support for this amendment.

[Lord Jay of Ewelme (CB)]

My Lords, this amendment shows that there are ways in which the rights of children could be protected. The debate so far has shown that we believe it to be extraordinarily important that the rights of children in these circumstances should be protected. I am therefore very glad that the amendment has been tabled, even though the chances of it being accepted are small.
