HC Deb 11 March 1926 vol 192 c2559
12. Sir GEOFFREY BUTLER

asked the Home Secretary whether he is yet able to recommend to the House the introduction of a Clause supplementary to the Nationality Acts enabling British women on their marriage to foreigners to retain their nationality unless and until by the municipal law of their husbands' country they acquire his nationality; whether he has yet received from the various Dominion Governments their views upon this suggestion; and, if so, whether these views are friendly or unfriendly to it?
