British Nationality Act, 1948 (Hansard, 31 January 1957)

HC Deb 31 January 1957 vol 563 c217W 217W

87. Mr. G. Wilson
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to amend the British Nationality Act, 1948, to enable him to exclude from British nationality British subjects who publicly renounce it.

§ Mr. R. A. Butler
No. I do not think it would be desirable to encourage British subjects to renounce their citizenship.
