Captain CAZALETasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether, in view of the decision taken at Monte Video on 7th April at the Pan-American Conference, whereby 21 republics of North and South America undertook that there will be no distinctions based on sex as regards nationality in their legislation or in their practice, and, with a view to securing uniformity of law throughout the British Empire on the question of nationality in future legislation, he will consult with the Governments of the Dominions in order to take common action on these lines?
Mr. THOMASThe position of the Government was fully set out in Debates on the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Bill last November, and it is not thought that any useful purpose would be served by an approach to the Dominion Governments at the present time on the lines suggested in my hon. and gallant Friend's question.
