§ Mr. Roseasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will make a statement on the statutory provisions relating to alien husbands of British wives resident in the United Kingdom who wish to acquire British nationality; and whether their cases will 193W now be considered in the same manner as resident alien wives of British husbands.
§ Mr. Alexander W. LyonA woman who is or has been married to a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies, wherever she is living, has an entitlement to be registered as a citizen herself under Section 6(2) of the British Nationality Act 1948. But a foreign husband living in the United Kingdom may acquire citizenship only by the process of naturalisation under Section 10 of, and the Second Schedule to, the Act. The position of foreign husbands and wives is among the questions being considered in the review of nationality law now in progress.
