§ Mr. Norman Lamontasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies have, as a result of granting independence to British territories, acquired duel citizenship in 1972 and in each of the four previous years.
§ Mr. Norman Lamontasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it remains Her Majesty's Government's policy to continue the granting of dual citizenship.
§ Mr. LaneIt is not a consequence of the acquisition of another citizenship that a person loses citizenship of the United Kingdom and Colonies, nor is the holder of another citizenship debarred by our law from becoming a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies. But all aspects of our nationality law will be examined in the review to which my right hon. Friend referred in reply to Questions by the hon. Member for Norwood (Mr. John Fraser) and my hon. Friend the Member for Nottingham, South (Mr. Fowler) on 1st February.—[Vol. 849, c. 1588–89.]
