HC Deb 20 March 1945 vol 409 c628
34. Mrs. Cazalet Keir

asked the Secretary of State for War whether, in view of the compulsory posting of women in the auxiliary Services overseas he will ensure that full information regarding the British nationality laws which deprive British women of their nationality on marriage to aliens of certain countries will be clearly explained to every woman before embarkation.

Sir J. Grigg

I have this under consideration.

Miss Rathbone

Will my right hon. Friend consider whether it would be still better to ask the Cabinet to change these objectionable laws, which are inconsistent with the principles of English law?

Sir J. Grigg

Perhaps the hon. Lady will address that question to somebody else. It does not come within my province.

Mrs., Keir

If one of these girls marries a foreigner, and remains in the Service, will she automatically lose her nationality?

Sir J. Grigg

As to the law, perhaps the hon. Lady will put a Question down. I am not sure that is a matter for. me.
