§ Sir G. STRICKLANDasked the Home Secretary whether birth in Palestine from alien parentage gives the same right to claim at 21 years of age British nationality which persons of similar origin have if born in England or elsewhere in territory under the British Flag; and which are the countries that claim a right to refuse re-entry to their nationals on the ground that they have become undesirable or diseased, or that they have lost identification papers which are made necessary by municipal law apart from international practice?
§ Sir W. JOYNSON-HICKSA person born within His Majesty's Dominions has no need to claim British nationality on reaching the age of 21. On the other hand, a person does not by reason of birth in Palestine acquire British nationality, nor any right to claim it on attaining majority. As regards the second part of the question, it is the accepted practice that a Government cannot refuse to admit to its territory a person whom it recognises as one of its nationals.
