HC Deb 18 November 1946 vol 430 c50W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to remedy the position of British-born women who have married Poles who enlisted and served in the British Forces and are now unwilling on release to return to Poland and who, if they enlist in the Resettlement Corps, will become Stateless; if he will enable such women to regain their British nationality; and will those Poles who served with British Forces throughout the war be granted British nationality if they have work or employment in this country.

Mr. Ede

Pending legislation to amend the law regarding the nationality of married women, there is no method by which a British-born woman who has acquired Polish nationality on marriage can regain British nationality during the continuance of the marriage except through the naturalisation of her husband. As regards the last part of the Question, I would refer to the reply given to the hon. Member on 24th October.
