HC Deb 08 March 1916 vol 80 c1529
42. Sir CHARLES HENRY

asked whether subjects of foreign countries who have become naturalised subjects of this country, and notwithstanding this naturalisation still remain subjects of their original countries, are, as regards status and treatment, placed in the same position as those people who have become naturalised in this country and have been denationalised from the countries of which they were originally subject?

Mr. SAMUEL

Yes, Sir; no distinction can be drawn between the rights and obligations of a British subject who may also possess a foreign nationality and those of a British subject who has lost or never had any such nationality. The point in question arises not only with naturalised, but also with natural-born British subjects.
