§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will publish in the Official Report a list of those countries (a) within the Commonwealth and (b) outside the Commonwealth that permit their nationals to hold dual nationality and (c) which forbid the holding of dual nationality.
§ Mr. LuceThe information is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, some information on dual nationality is given in a House of Commons Library Paper dated 19 June 1978 and I have no reason to believe that this is out of date.
§ Mr. Shersbyasked the Lord Privy Seal if he will publish in the Official Report a list of those countries where it is known that nationality may be transmitted through the female line.
§ Mr. LuceI understand that the nationality law of the following countries provides for transmission through the female line: Australia, Argentina, Canada, Denmark, Dominica, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Grenada, New Zealand, Sweden, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and United States of America.
