Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Amy Callaghan and Robert Jenrick

Monday 18th September 2023 Commons Chamber

[Amy Callaghan (East Dunbartonshire) (SNP)]

T3. Since we left the European Union, my constituent—a UK citizen from birth, as was confirmed by the British Nationality (Regularisation of Past Practice) Act 2023—has been repeatedly stopped by UK border guards and had his citizenship questioned. Is this British Government satisfied that the customs and immigration system is so chaotic that their own citizens are being othered by the Department’s officials, just because their parents were born in the EU?

[The Minister for Immigration (Robert Jenrick)]

I have no idea what the hon. Lady is referring to, but I would be very happy to look into that individual case.
