Written Question

British Nationality

Friday 14th January 2022

Asked by: Chi Onwurah (Labour - Newcastle upon Tyne Central)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the provisions of the Nationality and Borders Bill in respect of powers to remove British citizenship from people that the Government believes are eligible for foreign citizenship will apply to British citizens who are eligible for Israeli citizenship under Israel's law of return.

Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery)

Clause 9 of the Nationality and Borders Bill relates solely to how a person is notified of a decision to deprive them of their British citizenship. There is no change to the reasons for which a person could be deprived of their British citizenship or to their right of appeal.
