Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Answer of 4 March 2014, Official Report, column 730W, on British nationality, how many orders stripping people of citizenship have been made since 4 March 2014; what the nationality of each person so affected was; and what the grounds of the decision were in each additional case.

Since March 2014 fewer than five individuals have been deprived of their
British citizenship.
The grounds for the deprivation orders made during this period were either that:
• The Secretary of State was satisfied that such deprivation was conducive to
the public good and the person would not be made stateless as a result, or;
• the individual obtained their British citizenship by means of fraud, false
representation or concealment of material fact.

Due to the small number of cases involved, revealing the other nationalities of
the individuals deprived may make it possible to determine their identity and
so this detail will not be released.
This information has been provided from local management information and is not
a national statistic. As such it should be treated as provisional and therefore
subject to change
