§ Mrs. Keirasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to ensure that British-born wives of ex-enemy aliens who have regained their British nationality will be recognised by these States as British citizens when they return to the country of their husband's origin, either permanently or temporarily.
§ Mr. H. MorrisonA British born woman who has recovered her British nationality under Section Do (6) of the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act, 1914, in the circumstances mentioned may also possess her husband's nationality. This depends on the law of the foreign country concerned and not on British law. If she does possess her husband's nationality it follows that she would not be treated as an alien in that country when residing there; and any steps taken to secure that she has the status of an alien there would not necessarily be to her advantage. If, however, she has British nationality only no action appears necessary to secure that her status as a British subject under British law is recognised when she is in her husband's country.
