Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individuals have been deprived of their British Citizenship under subsection (2) of section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 in the last six months; how many such cases fell within subsection (4A) of that section; and if she will make a statement.
Answered by James Brokenshire
Under section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981, the Secretary of State is empowered to deprive, by order, any person of any form of British
nationality, subject to satisfying the relevant criteria. The Secretary of State may deprive somebody of their British citizenship if satisfied that such deprivation is conducive to the public good or the individual obtained British citizenship by means of fraud, false representation or concealment of a material fact. Since April 2014, seven people have been deprived of their citizenship on the grounds that it was either conducive to the public good to do so, or that the individual concerned obtained their British citizenship by means of fraud, false representation or concealment of a material fact. No cases have been deprived under subsection (4A) of that section.
