Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were deprived of UK citizenship for actions seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the UK in each of the three years since the Immigration Act 2014 has come into force.

Except where someone has fraudulently obtained British citizenship, deprivation of citizenship is only pursued against dual nationals where the Home Secretary is satisfied that the statutory test that deprivation of citizenship would be “conducive to the public good”, is met. To date, deprivation of citizenship on conducive grounds has been focused on protecting the UK from those involved in terrorism, unacceptable extremist behaviour, espionage or serious organised crime.
