HC Deb 31 May 1946 vol 423 c241W
Mr. Challen

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in order to prevent the abuse of our nationality laws by women of foreign nationality who marry British nationals, thereby acquiring British nationality, but without any intention of continuing their married relationship, he is now in a position to introduce legislation on this subject.

Mr. Ede

As I have previously stated, the nationality law affects the status of British subjects in all parts of the British Commonwealth of Nations, and it is essential that before changes are made there should be consultation with the Dominions.
