HC Deb 04 December 1916 vol 88 cc677-8W
Mr. LESLIE SCOTT

asked the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether there are any and, if so, which countries in which subjects are not permitted by law to renounce their nationality?

Lord R. CECIL

I would refer the hon. and learned Member to the collection of Reports by His Majesty's representatives abroad upon the nationality and naturalisation laws of foreign countries (Miscellaneous No. 3 (1893) C. 7027) and to subsequent Papers which have been presented to this House by Royal Command containing information since received from those representatives on the subject.
